Printer Copy Function

[Joe Gill]

I thought it would be awesome if their was a feature that allowed a user to copy the entire printer in fog to a new printer. It would save many key strokes when creating new printers with the exact same drivers but with different IP addresses. Just a thought.

Thanks guys! You are awesome!

Cheers,

Joe

@Joe-Gill Export your printers, then just copy/paste the excel row many times, change the IP, and then import.

I’ve added basic functionality of this using the edit function. When I get more time I’ll add the same ideology to the add printer function.

@Wayne-Workman That sounds like that may be easiest method to get the bulk of the printers added. I’ve been alt tabbing between screens and copy pasting things. It works but it’s a little time consuming. I’ll try the export / import option. Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott That would still be an awesome addition I think. It would certainly speed up adding one offs as new printers are added. No huge deal. Just thought it may be handy.

Printer copy feature added for both Add and Edit printers. Due to the nature of how these things need to work, creating a printer will not automatically transfer you into the printer you just created, rather it will enable you to create another printer immediately.

Messages from the edit/add will display like normal in the top for a 5 second period, then will fade out into the abyss somewhere in the annals of time.

@Tom-Elliott Sweet! I’ll update and test it. Thanks Tom!
