Printer management
MobileIron Core allows administrators to create printer profiles and add them to devices. This section includes the following topics:
Adding a shared printer
A shared printer can only be set on domain joined devices. If you do not plan to domain join the device then a network printer option must be used. When the printer profile is sent to the device, the printer must be active, otherwise the device cannot discover it.
