Managing local devices with Local Print Agent
To install Local Print Agent manually from the local printer
host computer:
•
Run the
Local Print Agent.msi
file on the computer you want
to install Local Print Agent on. The installation file is found by
default in: program files\Printer DCA\Support folder. The
installation file can be copied to a USB drive, CD, etc. for
portability.
The Printer DCA has an embedded push install utility specifically for
Local Print Agent. See “Performing a Push Install of Local Print
Agent” on page 33.
In addition, you can schedule periodic push installs to your entire
Printer DCA scan range to ensure that Local Print Agent gets
installed to any new computers on the network.
To schedule regular push installs using the Printer DCA:
1. Under the
Scan
tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the
Scan Profile
list. For more information on
scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.
2. Under the
Local
tab, select the
Enable Push Install
check box.
3. In the
Change Push Install Credentials
dialog, enter the
credentials of the user that belongs to the local administrator
group on the target OS.
Warning
These credentials will be saved in an encrypted
format in the Printer DCA. If you do not want these
credentials saved, do not enable scheduled push
installs.
4. Beside
Start
, select a start date and time for the automated
push install.
5. Beside
Repeat
, select the interval you want to perform the push
install at.
6. Click
Save
.
If the environment already uses a third party push installation tool,
you can use that to push install the
Local Print Agent.msi
file.
The installation file can be found in the Printer DCA\support folder
on the system installed with the Printer DCA (its default location).
Refer to the user guide for the third party push installation tool for
further instructions.
