1.) is it possible that we can inventory LAN switches ?
2.) is it possible that we can inventory Physical Printers only ....because GLPI is getting the physical printers but also getting the Document writer such as:-
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
Microsoft Office Document Image Writer
is it necessary if we want to get perfect inventory of printer then we must connect our printer with print server ?

1/ yes with tracker plugin (HP and Cisco switchs only).
I think you should wait for next version of tracker which will go out soon
2/ no OCS inventory all printers installed on workstation
No necessary to have print server
Offline
What about other switches ? and un branded switches ?
""""no OCS inventory all printers installed on workstation""""
Suppose one printer installed on muliple PCs so does OCSng show all installed printers on PCs as a printer if yes then it will be confusing ....
Offline
for printers, set the ocsng in sync with global fashion
If one printer installed on PCs x has the same name on all this PC, no problem (eg Printer0001)
it will appear once in GLPI, attached to X PCs

thanks for kind reply but would you please elaborate me more bcuz i have not got what are you saying.....

setup > oscng mode > import option > printers = Global import
Now if two printers have the same name, it will appear only one printer in Inventory > printers attached to 2 PC
But for that, your printers must be named and not have the driver name for name (ie hp laserjet xxxx)

you mean if a printer name Printer-1 is installed on PC1 and same name of Printer-1 is installed on PC2 so the GLPI shows us one printer which is Printer-1 ?
If Yes thats mean if 2 different Printers are installed on two different PCs on LAN with same name then GLPI will get it as one snigle Printer in it ?
Offline
yes exactly
(only if you choose global import in GLPI)
in my company, each different printer is installed with an unique name (Printer001, Printer002)
If Printer001 is installed on 2 PC, it's called Printer001 on the 2 PC

In our installation printers are mapped using group policy based on a computers location (as defined within AD) and show up for the user with names like:
MFP-CEN-CSS,
or MFP-CEN-RPT
but within GLPI I am receiving many copies of the same printer like:
MFP-CEN-CSS on HPX-DC3 (from CSS006M) in session 0,149
MFP-CEN-CSS on HPX-DC3 (from CSS006M) in session 1,117
(where HPX-DC3 is a print server and CSS006M is an end users computer)
This is with Printers set to Global Import within ocsng mode.
GLPI is version 0.71.1
