    Holger Luebsen When this 2nd printer fails to register, does the Connector event log say something to the effect of "device_already_exists"? 

     

    Also, how are these 2 print queues installed on the Connector machine?

    Holger Luebsen , Device UUID is used in registering the device, UP doesn't allow to register the same device twice. It is per design and logged in the event log. I don't see any reason for registering same device twice?

      carmstrong We have print queue's piggybacking the port for purposes like SAP and PIN printing.  So the only difference is the PQ name.

        larry900Yes, we have done that organizations creating multiple queues for same device, each PQ with  different default settings and user permissions.

        That kind of functionality could be extended at the cloud-endpoint side, single printer registration with multiple printer share (each with different allowed users/group, print setting configuration), but currently one print share per printer object.
