Introduction
Assigning a printer policy to a printer group enables WXP to evaluate all printers in that group against defined compliance standards. This article explains how to assign policies, configure assessment behavior, and manage policy priority to ensure consistent printer configuration.

Printer Administrators who onboard and manage printers.
Assigning the Policy to a Group
To assign a policy to a group of printers:
Log in to WXP.
Click the Printer Policy Assignments tab at the top of the page. The Printer Policies tab is displayed.
From the Groups list on the left side of the page, select the device group you want to add a policy to, then click Add. The Add Policy dialog appears.
Select one or more policies to assign to the printer group, then click Add. The Assignments tab displays the selected policies added to the device group.
In the Policies list, locate the policy you added and configure the Assess and Remediate dropdown as necessary:
Assess and Remediate: Default WXP assesses the configuration of each device in the group for compliance with the policy, and attempts remediate non-compliant settings.
Assess Only: WXP assesses the configuration of each device in the group for compliance with the policy and flags non-compliant settings, but does not attempt to remediate them.
6. When you have finished assigning and prioritizing policies, select Save.
Changing the Policy Priority
By default, newly assigned policies are added to the bottom of the Assignments list, so they have the lowest priority if the policy contains settings that clash with another policy.
To change the policy priority:
Click Change Policy Priority. The Change policy priority dialog appears.
Select a policy in the list, then use the up or down arrows on the right to change its position in the list.
Tip: To revert the prioritization changes that you’ve made, click Reset to Default to return to the original prioritization.
Once you have prioritized the policies in the order you want, click Save.
