Reliability.




This is what happens during a print server loss.

Before:
A service running on the backup server monitors the print queue of the master server and is responsible
for replication of print shares and drivers.



After:
As soon as the master print server fails, this service notifies all user sessions and the printer
connections are switched over to the backup server in real-time. This process takes place without
any need for the user to re-login. The administrator can decide centralized, if there will be shown an
info window to the user in which he is informed about the re-mapping.



The mapping-back to the master print server is done by the administrator by simply clicking one button in
the steadyPRINT Center.

The use of a backup print server is not required if you just want to have a centralized management of your
printer environment.

 

 


Reliability: Backup print server & Settings.




With steadyPRINTs reliability, all users are able to keep on printing even during a print server loss and
therefore can work effective and efficient.

1. Provide a reliable printing environment through redundant print server.

2. Replicate all printers, ports, drivers, shares and settings to a backup print server and get a 1:1 copy
of your print server. In the case of a failure, steadyPRINT switches all printer connections directly
and completely without any delay from the master print server to the backup print server.

You benefit from steadyPRINTs reliability even with virtual print server.

3. Use the maintenance mode to make changes at the print server without interrupting the workflow.

4. steadyPRINT is also able to run a script in the case of a print server loss , so that even applications
are supported, that are not based on Windows printer standards.

5. Generate automatic e-mail notifications to let all responsible persons be informed in the case of a
print server failure.
