About the Client Print System Agent

The Client Print System Agent (CPSA), sometimes also referred to as ‘Policy on Print’, is designed to detect and control user attempts to send documents to local or network printers. It can then apply policy to the documents being printed and use the results of policy processing to either allow or block the print operation. The CPSA also provides the ability to disable the Print Screen button on a user’s keyboard.

Before installing the CPSA, you must close down all applications that support printing; see Before installing.

After installing the CPSA - see Manual installations (setup.exe) - you need to configure it by editing CA DLP registry settings on the host machine and the Data In Motion triggers in your user policies.
