Add a Celiveo Virtual Printer for Print-Direct

What is a Celiveo Virtual Printer (CVP)?

The CVP is a module that is deployed on a user’s workstation, which enables a user to print directly to a printer, subject to rules based printing and usage reporting. On the Web Admin, you add a Celiveo Virtual Printer (CVP), and generate a deployment package. Later on, you install deployment package on the user’s workstation.
