Direct printer

To open the web administration, enter http://<hostname>/webadmin in the web browser (where hostname corresponds to the server on which IQ4docs WebAdmin was installed). In a client environment, enter the URL that you received from the client administrator (for example, http://server/webadmin/#/cf992178-4bd6-431c-b815-b9d734d0ded3). If you are not already logged in, log in with a user that has administrator rights (login and password) or as the IQ4docs system administrator (administrator with password admin by default).

In the web administration, click Print > Direct Printer in the menu.

To sort the list, click on the desired column header. Click again to reverse the sort order (marked with an arrow).

To show or hide columns, right-click on the column header and select the desired columns or click the Columns button (if present). By default, not all available columns are displayed. The selection of columns is stored in the browser's Local Storage and is reset when this data is deleted in the browser.

Below the list view, you can use the navigation buttons to navigate through the data records and set the number of records displayed.

You can import the assignment of the direct printers from a CSV file. It is also possible to export existing data records to a CSV file. Use the Import CSV or Export CSV buttons in the list view to do so.

The CSV file must have the following structure (the names of the table header must not be changed).

PrinterHost;ClientHost;StandardPrinter

Example:

PrinterHost;ClientHost;Standardprinter
km585a1e.domain.com;ClientHost1;true
EPSONFEC821.domain.com;ClientHost1;false
km585a1e.domain.com;PC2;true
EPSONFEC821.domain.com;PCs;false
EPSONFEC846.domain.com;PCs;false

If a combination of PrinterHost and ClientHost occurs multiple times in the import file, the first entry found is used. The same applies if true is specified more than once for a hostname for the standard printer.

When importing, all existing data records are deleted and replaced by the contents of the CSV file.

With the Add button below the table you can add new direct printer assignments. The detail dialog opens in which the printer, printer hostname and client hostname can be edited.

Use the Edit button found at the end of each line to modify the selected entry. The detail dialog opens in which the printer, printer hostname and client hostname can be edited.

The Delete button deletes all selected direct printer assignments.

The detail dialog appears when you create a direct printer assignment or when you click the Edit icon in the list view of direct printers.

Field	Description
Client hostname	Hostname of the user PC. Note for the client hostname that the hostname must be specified in the format returned by the reverse lookup of the DNS server of the IP address passed by the driver (this may be the fully qualified name, e.g., printer.company.local). When printing, the client hostname (or IP address) is either recognized from the data stream or has already been transferred by IQ4docs Messenger (see Client hostname determination (direct printer assignment)) and stored in the IQ4docs database (lookup of the hostname and reverse lookup of the IP address of the client computer are therefore indispensable). When using The Print-Job Interview Module, the hostname of the workstation computer (not the IP address) must be specified in the assignment of the workstation computer to the workstation printers. In this case, the hostname is always transferred from IQ4docs Messenger and is not read from the data stream.
Direct printer	Select the name of the printer (you can search for printers in the search field or select a printer using at the end of the line).
Default	Select the printer to be set as the default direct printer. The default printer is highlighted in color in the list view. A maximum of one printer can be selected. If no printer is selected, no direct printer is set for the user by default.
