Availability by Device Profile

Guest Print is controlled at two levels. The organization-level setting above turns the feature on across the organization. Device Profiles then determine which printers are allowed to accept guest print jobs. Both must be enabled for guests to print.

Organization setting Effect in Device Profiles
Enable guest printing is On A Guest Print option appears in each Device Profile, under Secure > Device Profiles. Administrators can enable or disable it for the printers assigned to that profile. Profiles created while the organization setting is On have Guest Print enabled.
Enable guest printing is Off The Device Profile option is hidden and cannot be enabled per device. The organization setting overrides the profiles.

Device Profiles are assigned to printers from Secure > Secure Printers. Printers that have not been reassigned use the Default Profile.

NoteWhere Guest Print is disabled for a profile, guests cannot sign in at those printers and see the message “Guest Printing is not permitted on this device.” Per-profile control requires build 2602.403.2921 or above.
