Overview

PrintMaster can be used in two modes:

Standalone Mode: Run just the agent to monitor printers at a single site
Server Mode: Run a central server with multiple agents across sites

Choose the setup that matches your needs:

Use Case	Recommended Setup
Single office, single network	Standalone Agent
Multiple sites, centralized management	Server + Agents
MSP managing multiple clients	Server + Agents (multi-tenant)

Standalone Agent Setup

If you’re monitoring printers at a single location, the standalone agent is all you need.
