information on blocking printers, see Blocking a printer.
Discovering printers
When no printers have been discovered yet, OMPE automatically prompts the
user to discover printers. Click OK in the dialog box to launch the Discovery
widget.
To manually launch the Discovery widget:
1. Launch the Dell OpenManage
TM
Printer Essentials.
Subnet mask
mode
Discovers all printers across a subnet. For
example, when IP address is 192.168.0.1 and
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, OMPE
searches for printers in IP address ranging
from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255.
CSV import
mode
Discovers printers with IP addresses
imported from a comma separated value file.
It is the fastest way to discover multiple
printers with a known IP address distributed
across multiple subnets.
