Connecting Your Epson SC-P Printer via SNMP
GMG ColorProof supports the latest version of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3 to connect your printer. This version offers enhanced data security. Authentication is used to ensure that only authenticated applications can connect to the printer. The SNMP data will be encrypted so that it cannot be read by unauthorized users. This ensures the security of your data and the data of your clients, especially if a printer is connected via the internet.
If the connection settings of your hardware printer have been set to SNMPv3, all applications connecting to your printer such as GMG ColorProof will need to provide the correct authentication, i. e. user name and password stored on the printer to be able to connect. Otherwise, the printer will refuse the connection.
For more information how to enable SNMPv3 on your printer, please refer to the documentation of the printer manufacturer.
If you cannot establish a printer connection, check if SNMPv3 has been enabled on the hardware printer and if so, check the authentication settings in GMG ColorProof.
How to enter the authentication
- On the Output tabbed page, under Printers, click the Configure Printer button next to your Epson SC-P printer.
- On the General Settings tabbed page, expand the Connection group and fill in the User Name, Authentication, and Encryption settings matching the settings of your hardware printer.
- Confirm with OK.
GMG ColorProof will establish a connection to the printer.
