This feature makes adding printers to your environment easier by removing the need to register the same printer twice. When you register a printer in PRISMA Home, it is automatically registered in Cloud proxy as well — saving time and reducing manual work.
The benefits include fewer setup steps, faster device onboarding, reduced configuration errors, and a smoother, more automated workflow, making printer management simpler and more efficient.
Having the Cloud proxy installed is a mandatory part of PRISMA Home usecases.
Previously, when a new printer was added:
It had to be registered in PRISMA Home, and
Registered again separately in Cloud proxy
The behavior depends on your current situation, based on whether you already are using the Cloud proxy, or not.
When you register a printer in PRISMA Home:
The system detects that Cloud proxy is available.
The printer is automatically added to Cloud proxy.
You do not need to perform any additional actions.
If devices were already registered in PRISMA Home before Cloud proxy was installed:
When Cloud proxy starts for the first time, it checks for printers already known in PRISMA Home.
These printers are automatically added to Cloud proxy.
No manual setup is required.
