Does this MP work with Server 2008 R2 printers as well?

Hello Steve,

I've created an override for the monitor (Windows 2003 print server printer state) with the parameter OfflineErrorDetectionEnabled set to 0. But when a printer is offline I still get a warning. How can I disable the alerts when a printer is offline?

Regards,

Vijay

Hello Steve,

This is a very nice post. I have already imported print server MP from catalog and was really looking for individual printer monitoring too, this is really a good one which help me a lot. I just want to confirm with you that with print server MP from catalog i import this MP, will create any abnormal behaviour in my environment.

Regards,

Vijay

Yep, sorry - that statement is absolutely true - you don't need the MP from the catalog with the version of the MP I have posted on this blog. Too many things going on and was thinking of something else.

Thanks for your response Steve. I'll import the base printer MP as well.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by the following statement at the start of this post. Because, this is what made me believe that supplement MP would be enough to monitor the printers,

"The term supplement is really a bad choice as the attached MP does NOT require the default printer MP from the catalog. In fact, if you do have the original MP installed you will want to disable printer discovery via override as the attached MP has it’s own individual printer discovery."

This is an MP Supplement - it requires you have the base Printer MP imported.

Hello Steve -

Thanks for this wonderful MP. I've imported this MP and have enabled all 4 discoveries. Printer Servers for Windows 2008 are discovered. However, none of the printers on this print server is getting discovered. It's been more than an hour since we've imported the MP.

We're depending only on supplemental printer MP for printer monitoring. We do not have released Windows 2000/2003/2008 Printer MP imported in our environment.

Is there something I'm missing ?
