Create Print Resilience Database

If you enabled the Print Resilience option within the Custom Setup screen (see below), you can create a Print Resilience Database to share print jobs among two or more Delegation Servers. .

Note that you cannot configure Print Release Resilience using the bundled SQL Express installer. A separate SQL installer (full or express) should be used.

Perform the following steps before creating the print resilience database.

  1. Create a folder that will be used as a spool folder.

  2. Add the DS service account user to the created folder's access privileges, and assign "read- write" permissions. A DS service account user is the user account that is specified in the "Service Logon Information" window.

To create a Print Release Resilience database

  1. On the [Print Resilience Database] window, enter the connection details for the shared database, and then click [Next].

    • The default database name is "ricoh_printres". It is possible to specify any name for the database.
    • Select the [Run database creation scripts] check box when installing the Print Resilience Database for the first time. Do not select the [Run database creation scripts] check box if the Print Resilience Database is already created.

  1. On the [Print Resilience Database Creation Login Information] window, select an authentication method, specify the login credentials to be used to create the database, and then click [Test Connection].

    2. The "Print Resilience Database Creation Login Information" window is displayed only when the [Run database creation scripts] check box is selected on the [Print Resilience Database] window.

  2. Select an authentication method, specify the credentials to be used by Print resilience for connecting to the database during normal operation, and then click [Next].

  3. On the "Print Resilience Data Location" window, specify the UNC path of the folder to be used as a spool folder, and then click [Next].

    Example: \\<computer name>\<shared directory>

  • If the Delegation Server and the server or location hosting the common spool folder belong to the same domain, a domain user account should be used to run the service and be given full permissions to the common spool folder (Share and NTFS permissions).
  • If the Delegation Server and the server or location hosting the shared folder belong to different domains, it is recommended to create a user with the same username and password on the Delegation Server ("Server1") and shared folder server ("Server2"). In this case, register "Server1\User" to run the RICOH SLNX Delegation Server Service, and give "Server2\User" full permissions to the common spool folder (Share and NTFS permissions).
