Understanding LPM installation dependencies

Lexmark Print Management uses the Lexmark Document Distributor (LDD) platform. Before installing LPM, make sure that LDD is installed and that you can successfully log in through the Lexmark Management Console (LMC).

LPM lets you print to a central queue then release the job at any configured Lexmark MFP in your network. LPM provides various features, such as badge authentication, quota enforcement, and usage tracking.

The LPM installer can be used to install the Print Release application to an existing LDD instance. The installer contains the Print Release and Lexmark Print applications.

Notes:

  • You can also install LPM silently.

  • For more information on configuring the Lexmark Print application with LPM, see Configuring mobile devices section.

  • For more information on configuring LDD, see the Lexmark Document Distributor Administrator’s Guide.

LDD dependencies

During installation, LPM detects the version of LDD and installation type. If the minimum LDD version is not detected, then the installer shows an error. For more information on the compatible LPM and LDD versions, see System requirements.

Note: Make sure that the Lexmark Document Server Port (port monitor) is installed for driver submission. For more information, see Installing the LDD Port monitor software.

Document conversion software dependencies

Document conversions are required for email and mobile application job submission. During installation, LPM detects the version of the installed document conversion software.

Note: Only the application servers require a document conversion software.

Before running the LPM installer, install a supported document conversion application on each Tomcat or application servers that are handling document conversions. We recommend installing the document conversion application before running the LPM installer for the solution to use it automatically.
