Printer agent

Applies to

Data Security v7.6

Description

The Data Security printer agent is required when you want to monitor what is printed on your organization's network printers.

The printer agent supports 32-bit Windows Server 2003 standard and R2 environments, and it supports permit and block actions.

When a user on the network prints a file, it is routed to the Microsoft Windows printer spooler service, where the printer agent intercepts it and sends it to the Data Security policy engine. After analysis of the content, the Data Security system enforces the policy as necessary: either auditing, monitoring or blocking the print job from being printed, in which case the sender (the user who printed the document) receives a notification that the print job was blocked.

See Printer agent for more information.
