Dale,

Thanks.  I had some of that.  But, I was really hoping to setup a 'filter' as to only send the service provider the 
copier's they support.  I think this tool could be helpful for our Service Desk, which would need access to all the 
printers/copiers.  I will review the PDF.

Robert,

We run FMAudit on our windows print server.  It communicates to the printer devices via SNMP for collection, then to 
the service provider on port 80/443.

You could lock the internet outbound (N-S) to the range of the provider, and limit the local traffic (E-W) to only SNMP.

I was able to find a FMAudit white paper at

We have vendor that wants us to use FMAudit for our printer fleet.  I'm not finding security information on it.  Does 
anybody have experience with it?  I'm hoping to limit the data sent to their central server, and I THINK I can use a 
group to do that, but I need more information.  Anything could help.
