Why Is The Same Physical Printer (Tcp/ip Address And Port Name) Considered Two Licensed Printers?

    Hi Ira,

    Give static IP address or host name to the printer. Install the printer as a local printer (not shared) using standard TCP/IP port to each client.

    If that's not works, attach the printer list on the Seagull License Server - if that don't have a sensitive info (of hide such info by MS Paint etc).

    Your suggestions solve the problem for multiple logical printers on same network printer. They were previously the same tcp/ip port (DHCP reserved) and printer hostname (static configured in printer). One was shared (may be default on Windows Server 2012 R2). Removing the sharing and action->purge printer list, then printing to both printers only consumes one license.

     

    Now to see what can be done for USB printers attached to client PC's and shared so the server can access them. Is it possible for a client attached USB printer (shared) and its queue on the web server system (not shared) consume only one license?

     

    Thanks very much, Ira

    In testing two shared client USB printers which use the same USB port cause the server to use the printer name on the client as the port. It consumes a license per shared printer and thus two instances of the same printer on the client system need two licenses per the attached.

     

    Suggestions?

    Since the port is sharename for shared printer and sharename need to be unique on a print server, that might be difficult.

     

    If your printing application can specify custom stock(paper) name, consider to use Driver preset association.

    I presume this different than using btFormat.PageSetup.SetStock("Manufacturer","StockType")?

    I recon that is PageSetup.PaperName.

    I understand that what I want to change is Seagull.Bartender.Print.PageSetup. if I need additional SDK programming guidance, I will ask in the SDK forum.

     

    Thanks very much, Ira
