Abstract
An approach is provided for configuring printing devices. A configuration manager maintains configuration data for a printing device and provides the configuration data to a configuration agent executing on the printing device. The configuration agent applies the settings specified by the configuration data to the printing device and generates configuration identification data that uniquely identifies the settings. The configuration agent uses the configuration identification data to determine whether the current configuration of the printing device has changed. If so, then the configuration agent acquires and applies configuration data from the configuration manager.
