Print Agent Installer

The 2022.08 Print Agent must be updated to work with the changes on the delivery document printing. The installer can be downloaded from System Management > Installer Download . Perform these steps during the update:
Note: The log4j2.properties file will only be available for 2022.03 printer agent zip file. The printer agent will use log4j2 and not log4j, thus log4j2 should be the one updated when changing the logging needed. Only the 2022.02 printer agent version and higher supports the log4j2 upgrade.
  1. Stop the printer agent service, if running.
  2. Back up the existing print agent folder and all its files to another folder.
  3. Delete all files from the existing printagent folder.
  4. Extract the 2022.08 print agent installer to the existing folder location
  5. Specify the print agent values in the printagent.properties file. Make sure to specify the ServiceName of the print agent when running as a service.
  6. Start the print agent as service or from the command line.

Starting 2022.01, the Printer Agent includes the Auto-Update feature. After the printer agent has been manually updated with the 2022.01 update, all future utility updates will occur automatically.

The agent has new fields that enable the detection and trigger of auto-update when a new version is available.
  • On Print Agent GUI, a notification is displayed when the Auto-Update Interval scheduler runs and detects a new version. You must click Update in the Settings tab of the Printer Agent to activate the auto-update process. The Auto-Update Interval is a new field with a default value of 300000 ms.
  • On the printagent.properties file, the ServiceName field is blank by default but is required to hold the print agent service name when launched as a Service. The AutoUpdateInterval is 300000 by default. This allows the printer agent to check for new version updates based on the specified frequency in ms.
Note: When running the printer agent from the command line, "-u" should be added to trigger the auto-update.

Starting 11.2.22.0, the Printer Agent configuration includes these updates:

The agent has a new field that validates SSL certificate and hostname to connect to the MSCM printservice. This is turned on by default.
  • On the Print Agent GUI, it is displayed as 'Enable SSL Checking'
  • On the printagent.properties, it is listed as enableSslChecking=true
Note: You have the option to clear the check box for the property from the GUI or set the field propertyto enableSslChecking=false from properties file.

Starting 11.2.17.0, the Printer Agent configuration includes these updates:

The agent has two new fields to define connection and read timeout with these default values:
  • On the Print Agent GUI, the fields are displayed as Connect Timeout = 60000 ms, Read Timeout= 60000 ms
  • On the printagent.properties, the fields are listed as connectTimeout=60000, readTimeout=60000
Note: You can change the values according to your network connectivity. Both fields can be set to 0 if you prefer to have a no timeout setting.
