Log Files and Debug Functionality
When PrinterMap encounters a problem, a pop-up message appears referring the
user to the pmap.log. which contains general application status messages. Several
process-specific logs can be generated by activating PrinterMap's debugging
facility, for which several debug levels are available. The application initialization
file,
[Drive]:\[nstall Directory]\pmap.ini
contains debug parameter settings and
can be edited using any standard ASCII file editor.
Debugging is available for the following processes:
