Attaching a printer to a user in MSCM

pcesarz

I am sure I am not the only one who dislikes how printers are attached to users in MSCM.  We need the printers to be specific to a user, so we attach them in the user setup to each receiving location to cover ourselves if a shipment ends up at the wrong dock (happens more than you would think).  We just upgraded to 10.1.8.13 and an extra step has been added - we now have to map each printer to each receiving location as well. 

I have had an Enhancement request out there asking to have an option to attach a default printer to a user.  No locations, workstations involved - just a user.  One place to add a printer one place to update the printer if needed.  It is ER 19457.  PLEASE VOTE! 

Thanks all!

Hi Pam,



Our 11.2.0 single source coding release contains an enhancement that drastically improves the ability to not only default printers by user, but by function as well. It's currently being tested by our beta customers and will be rolled out with the 11.2.0 release next month, which is available to both v11 and v10 customers. If you want more details on what this feature looks like and how it operates, please send me an e-mail at jonathan.andersen@infor.com



Thanks
