100 Manage Printer Groups
Types of Groups
There are 3 types of printer groups:
• System - System group contains rules defined by the OMPM system. You cannot create or modify the
rules in these groups.
• Static - Static group does not have any rules defined for automatic allocation of printers to it. You
can create a static printer group and manually add printers to it.
• Dynamic - Dynamic group contains defined rules. All printers that satisfy the rules of a dynamic
group are included in that group. During discovery, a printer is evaluated against the rules of the
dynamic group and if a printer satisfies the rules, it is placed in the corresponding dynamic group.
While creating a dynamic printer group, you can choose to include printers that have already
been discovered.
NOTE: If a printer satisfies the rules of more than one group, it is added to multiple groups.
There are 8 system provided printer groups:
• Color
• Mono
• Critical
• Warning
• Normal
• All Printers
• All Blocked Printers
• All Ungrouped Printers
NOTE: You can include a printer in more than one printer group.
Color
