Windows Registry settings overview

These Windows Registry settings are used by the Printix Redirector:

DisableAutoUpgrade

  • Purpose: Control if auto-upgrade of the Printix Redirector is enabled.

  • Printix Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\printix.net\Printix Redirector\

  • Value name: DisableAutoUpgrade

  • Value type: DWORD

  • Value – Decimal values (hex value in parenthesis):

    • 0 (0×00000000): Auto-upgrade of the Printix Redirector is enabled.

    • 1 (0×00000001): Auto-upgrade of the Printix Redirector is not enabled, but auto-upgrade of third-party components is enabled.

    • 2 (0×00000002): Auto-upgrade of the Printix Redirector or any third-party component is not enabled.

      While this setting has a value of 2, the initial download of third-party components is also prevented.

  • Requirements:

    • Printix Redirector version 2025.1.0.0 or higher.

  • If this setting is not configured or its value is a negative number, auto-upgrade of the Printix Redirector is enabled.

  • If the value of this setting is a positive number greater than 2, it has the same effect as it would have with value 2.

  • When this setting is changed, its new value takes effect in 1 hour, when the Printix Redirector looks for updates (the Printix Redirector looks for updates once per hour, and looks for third-party component updates only when it starts up). The best practice is to wait 1 hour or open services.msc and restart the Printix Redirector.

UserNameFormat

  • Purpose: Control the format of the username in Printix Redirector.

  • Printix Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\printix.net\Printix Redirector\Settings

  • Value name: UserNameFormat

  • Value type: DWORD

  • Value – Decimal values (hex value in parenthesis):

    • 0 (0×00000000): Username is not modified (this is the default). Use the Printix username of the user signed into Printix Redirector, such as: john@acme.com. If this is empty, then use the name of the user signed into the computer (john).

    • 1 (0×00000001): Remove the domain part (@acme.com) from the Printix username and only return the first part (john).

    • 11 (0×0000000b): Replace the @ in the domain name of the Printix username with a dot. (john.acme.com)

    • 22 (0×00000016): Use the name (sAMAccountName) of the user signed into the computer and ignore the Printix username.

    Feedback from customers indicate that the following values of UserNameFormat are working with the below third-party solutions. If you have feedback, contact Product Support.

    • Equitrac: 0

    • PaperCut: 1

    • Streamline NX: 22

    A change in the UserNameFormat value takes effect immediately, so it is not necessary to restart the Printix Redirector service.
