PC Client Registration with the Delegation Server

PC Client will attempt to register with the Delegation Server the first time the user prints. If the registration is unsuccessful after a randomized amount of time (between 1 minute to 10 minutes), the user will be unable to print via PC Client. In this case, the Administrator must double-check all settings to confirm correct connection, certificate and licensing details.
