PrinterMap User Guide 30Advanced Configuration IssuesThis section provides a look at advanced details of the PrinterMap discoverprocess. These topics include PrinterMap vendor and model support as well asconfiguring PrinterMap SNMP time-out values.Supported Vendors and Printer ModelsWhen the discover process finds a device on the network it determines is a printer,it attempts associating that printer with one of the supported printer manufacturers(Xerox, HP, Lexmark, etc.). If the discover process makes this association theprinter is represented in the PrinterMap Topology window with a vendor-specificicon. Otherwise the printer is represented with the Generic printer icon. In the caseof Xerox manufactured printers, PrinterMap attempts associating a particularprinter with a model-specific icon. If a model-specific icon is not defined for aparticular printer’s model, the printer is represented with the Xerox-Genericprinter icon.PrinterMap is shipped with a pre-defined set of supported printer manufacturers orvendors. The set of supported vendors cannot be extended by the user. FuturePrinterMap versions will support an ever increasing number of printer vendors.PrinterMap is shipped with a default set of printer models associated with eachsupported vendor. These vendor and model associations are defined inPrinterMap’s Mib.ini file. Xerox printer model to icon associations are defined inPrinterMap’s Pmap.ini file. The content of both of these files is loaded duringPrinterMap initialization and are located in the PrinterMap install directory([Drive]:\[Install Directory]).PrinterMap’s Mib.ini file contains entries mapping each supported vendor to oneor more supported models (identified by the model’s MIB II System ObjectIdentifier). The Mib.ini file is found in the [Drive]:\[Install Directory]\ directory.An excerpt from a sample Mib.ini file follows.
