How to configure proxy server connection

If the Printix Client on your computer can only communicate with the Internet through an http proxy, you can bypass connecting to the proxy server by following the instructions below.

You can use the -p command line parameter with the Printix Client service.

Run PrintixService.exe -p with administrator permissions to do the configuration properly.

  • -p <ProxyServerURL> [BypassProxyOnLocal] [ProxyAuthUserName] [ProxyAuthPassword] [ProxyAuthDomain]

  • Parameters:

    • ProxyServerURL: Specify the URL of the proxy server.

    • BypassProxyOnLocal: It is a boolean (1 or 0), it controls if local connections should bypass the proxy server.

    • ProxyAuthUserName: Custom user name to use for the proxy server authentication.

    • ProxyAuthPassword: Custom password to use for the proxy server authentication.

    • ProxyAuthDomain: Custom domain name to use for the proxy server authentication.

    • If ProxyAuthUserName and ProxyAuthPassword are not specified, the service account (Local System) is used for the proxy authentication (if needed).

  • Usage:

    • -p: Enable or disable proxy server usage.

    • -p <ProxyServerURL>: Connect to the specified proxy server, using the built-in local system account credentials (if needed) for the authentication.

    • -p <ProxyServerURL> 1: Connect to the specified proxy server, using the built-in local system account credentials (if needed) for the authentication. Local traffic is not sent through the proxy server.

    • -p <ProxyServerURL> 0 [ProxyAuthUserName] [ProxyAuthPassword]: Connect to the specified proxy server, using the specified credentials (username and password) (if needed) for the authentication.

    • -p <ProxyServerURL> 1 [ProxyAuthUserName] [ProxyAuthPassword] [ProxyAuthDomain]: Connect to the specified proxy server, using the specified credentials (domain and user name and password) (if needed) for the authentication. In addition, local traffic is not sent through the proxy server.

When the proxy parameters are provided through the command line parameters, they are stored in registry (encrypted), and they take effect when the local Printix Service is restarted. They remain in effect until they are overridden with other command line parameters or until the Printix Client is uninstalled.

The proxy parameters are stored (encrypted) in the Windows registry or as Mac local settings.
