Add print queues to computers with Printix Configurator

Use a CSV file with computer names and print queue names to add print queues to computers. Only if Printix Administrator has a matching hostname of a computer and a matching print queue name, will the computer have the print queue added. The adding of the print queue is done as a task. If a computer is offline, it picks up on the tasks after it comes online.

Requirements

  • The CSV file MUST be semi-colon (;) separated.

    • Column headers are not allowed.

    • The first item in each row must be the hostname of an existing computer.

    • Each row must also contain at least one print queue, which will be added to the computer.

      The listed print queues must exist.

    • Do not have empty cells between a row's two items.

    • Do not have spaces before or after a semi-colon.

      Example:

      • computer1;queueA;queueB;

      • computer2;queueA;queueB;queueC;

      • computer3;queueC;

  • Uppercase and lowercase letters are treated the same.

  • Print queue is added regardless whether it is Active.

Import CSV file

  1. In Enter CSV file, select the field and browse to the CSV file you wish to use. Alternatively, you can paste the path to the CSV file.
  2. Select Open.
  3. Select Exit.

For troubleshooting, you can check the Printix Configurator log files. Output from a successful configuration is written as follows: 

Read X computers from CSV file
Validating configuration...
Start applying configuration...
Done  applying configuration

A delay of up to 30 minutes may occur before the result of the import is fully reflected in Printix Administrator. If a computer is offline, it will pick up on the tasks after it comes online.

If a print queue does not install, check the History on the computer for any hints on perhaps issues with the print driver and then try to change the print driver.
