Abstract
A system and method automatically detect parameters of a printer on a network having an unknown profile, to create a useable profile for the printer having the unknown profile by querying, via a predetermined protocol between a network administrator processor and the printer on the network having the unknown profile, a first state of the printer on the network having the unknown profile. The network administrator processor identifies parameters associated with the state of the printer on the network having the unknown profile by comparing the first state of the printer on the network having the unknown profile to the second state of the printer on the network having the unknown profile and the third state of the printer on the network having the unknown profile and creates a useable profile for the printer on the network having the unknown profile based upon the identified parameters.
