Endpoint Printers

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x

Use the Main > Policy Management > Resources > Endpoint Printers page to review the endpoint printers monitored by the system. Each printer is associated with a name, a type (auto-detected or user-defined), and a print server (IP address or hostname).

Initially, only printers detected by the system are shown.

Optionally add printers to the list—local and network printers that may be connected to endpoints.

To add a printer:

Click New in the toolbar.

Enter a Name for the printer or group of printers you're adding. Example: HP-6050 or All HP printers.

Enter a Description this printer or group of printers.

Enter a Value to specify exactly which printer or printers to include in this setting. Wildcards are supported.

Indicate whether or not this is a Trusted endpoint printer.

When this option is selected, the endpoint printer is not monitored. All print jobs directed to this printer by endpoint users are permitted.

Click OK.

Use policies to define whether to permit or block sensitive information from going to these printer destinations.

For data endpoints, the system analyzes text in the endpoint application before it is sent to the printer. The endpoint print solution is not print driver-dependent.
