2.7. Go live

Before you decide to go live, you should go through these control questions:

• Were all the print queues, including print driver configurations migrated from the printer servers?
• Is it the right print queues that are active?
• Should any print queues be added automatically?
• Are users’ group membership used correctly to deploy and control access to printers?
• Are the correct paper trays and paper sizes used?
• Should some print queues be deleted and/or updated?

You should consider the optional configuration:

• Automatically Add and Remove print queues.
• Configure print queues.
• Revoke some of the changes that were made as part of the Implementation setup on the Settings page:
  • Check Allow users to add printers via Printix Client.
  • Check Convert print queues. Remember you can control this per network. You can also test conversion of print queues on a single computer.
• Check Via the cloud on print queue to enable printing to the printer from another company network.

• Additional functionality implementation
• Remove print server

Configure print queues

!If you have signed in through the Printix Partner Portal your partner user account is not really part of the tenant, and you can not add and work with print driver configurations, nor test printing.

Remove print server

Before removing the print server, you should verify that the print server’s shared printers can be paused without users complaining. You should also verify that the server does not have additional roles, such as Domain Controller, File Server, etc.

Take the server offline. Unplug the network cable and leave it that way for a week or so: if nobody complains, it is safe to decommission the print server.
