Install and Register the Print Server

Installing the Print Server

The Epson printer application consists of three files:

• EpsonAWPrintServer.exe - The Epson printer server application .exe file
• EpsonAWPrinterServerData.xml - Application settings
• Newtonsoft.Json.dll - A library to handle JSON data

To install the print server, copy the above mentioned files to a folder. To start the application, double-click the EpsonAWPrintServer.exe file or in a terminal cd to that folder and run ./EpsonAWPrintServer.exe. Alternatively, enter mono EpsonAWPrintServer.exe to start explicitly with the mono runtime.

Once you start the Epson printer server application, the EPSON AirWatch Print Server window opens. In this window, you have to provide the print server information.

Adding the Print Server

To add a printer server in Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM, perform the following steps:

1. Login to the UEM console.

2. Ensure that the correct Organization Group is displayed at the top of the page.

3. Navigate to Devices > Peripherals > Settings > Server, and then select Add Server.

4. On the Add Server page, complete the following fields:

   Fields	Description
   Friendly Name	Choose a meaningful name to identify the Epson print server.
   HMAC Token	The UEM console randomly generates this token. This token enables all subsequent requests from the Epson print server to be HMAC signed. Select the entire 32-character string and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).
   User ID	This field contains the user ID or username associated with a print server on the console. Printers subsequently enrolled to the print server have this username associated with them.
   Service UID	Enter the Service UID or select Generate UID. The service UID is expected to be between 16 to 36 character long alphanumeric value. Once you enter the Service UID in the UEM console, copy the same to the relevant field in the Epson configuration page.

5. Select Save. The status displays pending registration.

Registering the Print Server

To register the printer, perform the following steps:

1. Update the EpsonAWPrinterServerConfig.xml with your print server details and save the file.

2. Open Terminal and change to the directory containing Epson print server files.

3. Run the mono EpsonAWPrintServer.exe –r command to start the print server. Your print server is registered and the terminal output displays following information about the printer server:
