## Update: 16:32 PT — MCReception ET-5800 printer share

### Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Added the Memory Care Reception Epson ET-5800 (EPSON833571) as a mapped network printer on CS-SERVER. The printer had been listed in the Cascades printer inventory since the Phase 2 audit as entry #12 (MemCare Reception), offline and pending a UniFi switch replacement. The switch had since been replaced, and the printer came up online at 10.0.20.78 on VLAN 20 (staff network).
|
||||
|
||||
Looked up the existing ET-5800 setup (FrontDesk share at 192.168.2.147) to confirm the driver was already staged on CS-SERVER via the earlier EPWizard workaround. Because the EPSON ET-5800 Series driver was already registered with the spooler, no EPWizard re-run was needed — only a new TCP/IP port and printer share were required.
|
||||
|
||||
Dispatched a PowerShell script to CS-SERVER via GuruRMM (agent ID c39f1de7). The script created port TCP_10.0.20.78, installed the printer, and shared it as MCReception. Command completed exit 0. Connectivity check noted ICMP did not respond from 10.0.20.78, which is expected behavior on Epson devices with ping blocked; TCP printing will work when a job is sent with the printer awake.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated all relevant documentation: printers.md (entry #12 now online with IP/MAC/share), active-directory.md (MCReception added to printer table and GPO count bumped to 14), and phase2-print-server.ps1 (MCReception added for future re-run completeness). Committed under ba05fe5.
|
||||
|
||||
Howard will manually add \CS-SERVER\MCReception to Alma Montt's machine. Alma Montt is a cloud-only M365 account with no AD account, so GPO printer deployment will not push to her automatically. The share is ready for GPO targeting of OU=Care-Memorycare when the Printer Deployment GPO goes live at Phase 3.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reused existing ET-5800 driver** — did not re-run EPWizard; the EPSON ET-5800 Series driver was already registered on CS-SERVER from the FrontDesk setup. Saved time and avoided the wlanapi.dll stub failure on Server 2019.
|
||||
- **Share name MCReception** — followed existing MC-prefix convention (MCDirector, MCMedTech) for consistency in the print server share list.
|
||||
- **GPO ILT scope: OU=Care-Memorycare** — matches MCDirector scope (memory care nurses/supervisors). Not extended to OU=Caregivers since the user specified memory care unit staff only, not all caregivers.
|
||||
- **Alma Montt: manual connection** — she has no AD account (cloud-only M365), so GPO cannot push to her. Share is ready; Howard adds it manually to her machine rather than creating an AD account just for printer deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problems Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
- **ICMP no response from 10.0.20.78** — printer did not respond to Test-Connection ping. Not a blocking issue; Epson devices commonly block ICMP. The TCP/IP print port will work when a print job is sent with the device awake.
|
||||
- **RMM shell variable persistence** — initial RMM workflow broke because Bash tool calls do not share shell state between invocations. Resolved by consolidating auth + agent lookup + dispatch into single Bash calls.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- `clients/cascades-tucson/docs/printers.md` — entry #12 updated: IP 10.0.20.78, MAC dc:cd:2f:83:35:71, share \CS-SERVER\MCReception, status Online 2026-05-29. Removed "MemCare Reception Epson ET-5800 needs hardwiring" from Known Issues.
|
||||
- `clients/cascades-tucson/docs/servers/active-directory.md` — MCReception added to printer share table (OU=Care-Memorycare ILT); CSC - Printer Deployment GPO count updated from 13 to 14.
|
||||
- `clients/cascades-tucson/docs/migration/scripts/phase2-print-server.ps1` — MCReception printer block added to `$printers` array and connectivity check array.
|
||||
|
||||
### Credentials & Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
None created or changed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Infrastructure & Servers
|
||||
|
||||
- **CS-SERVER** — Windows Server 2019, IP 192.168.2.254, GuruRMM agent ID c39f1de7-d5b6-45ae-b132-e06977ab1713
|
||||
- **New printer** — Epson ET-5800, hostname EPSON833571, MAC dc:cd:2f:83:35:71, IP 10.0.20.78 (VLAN 20 / 10.0.20.0/24), share \CS-SERVER\MCReception
|
||||
|
||||
### Commands & Outputs
|
||||
|
||||
GuruRMM dispatch (cmd ID ca8ec985-74a9-466c-b85b-2ecbca842c5b), exit 0:
|
||||
```
|
||||
=== MCReception ET-5800 Setup ===
|
||||
[OK] Driver present: EPSON ET-5800 Series
|
||||
[OK] Port created: TCP_10.0.20.78
|
||||
[OK] Installed and shared as \CS-SERVER\MCReception
|
||||
[WARN] 10.0.20.78 not responding to ping (may still print via TCP)
|
||||
ShareName: MCReception PortName: TCP_10.0.20.78 DriverName: EPSON ET-5800 Series Shared: True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pending / Incomplete Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- Howard to manually add \CS-SERVER\MCReception to Alma Montt's machine
|
||||
- When Phase 3 GPO goes live: update CSC - Printer Deployment Printers.xml to add MCReception with ILT OU=Care-Memorycare
|
||||
- Confirm printer prints successfully once added to Alma's machine (ICMP block makes remote connectivity verification impossible)
