Testing Print and Scan Operations

Coming Soon

This tutorial is currently under development. We're creating a comprehensive testing guide for ScrewDrivers Pro/Enterprise deployments.

What You'll Learn​

This tutorial teaches you systematic testing for Pro/Enterprise deployments. You'll learn to:

  • Test print job routing and delivery
  • Validate user-based printer assignments
  • Test group and OU-based assignments
  • Verify printer profile application
  • Test scan job routing (if configured)
  • Validate reporting and job tracking
  • Test failover scenarios
  • Identify and resolve issues before production

What You'll Need​

Before starting this tutorial:

  • Completed previous Pro/Enterprise tutorials
  • Working ScrewDrivers Pro/Enterprise installation
  • Multiple Print Servers (for failover testing)
  • Test users representing different scenarios
  • Various applications for testing
  • Network scanners (if testing scan functionality)
  • About 2-3 hours for comprehensive testing

Tutorial Overview​

Testing isn't just about clicking Print. This tutorial teaches you systematic validation that ensures your deployment works reliably before users depend on it.

Testing Scenarios We'll Cover​

You'll work through comprehensive test scenarios:

  1. Basic Print Routing - Simple print jobs from various applications
  2. Assignment Validation - Verify users get correct printers
  3. Profile Application - Confirm printer profiles apply correctly
  4. Advanced Routing - Location-based, session-based scenarios
  5. Scan Workflows - Test scan-to-email and scan-to-folder
  6. Reporting Validation - Ensure all jobs are tracked
  7. Failover Testing - Verify high availability works
  8. Load Testing - Confirm performance under realistic load

By completing these tests, you'll know your system works reliably.

Learning Approach​

This tutorial uses a systematic testing methodology:

  • Test methodically, not randomly
  • Document results as you progress
  • Learn to interpret logs and reports
  • Identify patterns in failures
  • Build troubleshooting skills through practice
  • Validate fixes actually work

Prerequisites​

You should understand:

  • ScrewDrivers Pro/Enterprise architecture
  • Your printer and assignment configuration
  • How to use the Admin Console
  • Log file locations and basic interpretation
  • Your organization's usage patterns

Testing Philosophy​

Good testing finds problems before users do. We'll teach you:

  • Systematic approach - Cover all scenarios methodically
  • Document everything - Keep detailed test results
  • Reproduce issues - If something fails, make it fail consistently
  • Understand root causes - Fix problems, not symptoms
  • Build confidence - Each successful test proves reliability
  • Plan for scale - Test represents real-world usage

Current Resources​

While we're developing this tutorial, you can find testing information:
