PRINTERS section missing from inventory data

I just noticed that the PRINTERS section of the computer inventory is missing.  Has anyone else noticed this?

How are we supposed to now see what printers are installed on a mac?

@tcandela Works for me in JSS 10.42.1. Do you have "Collect printers" enabled in Settings->Computer management->Inventory collection?

@sdagley  thanks i just checked Settings->Computer management->Inventory collection and the box for it  (collect printers) is unchecked.  Not sure who did it but am asking about it.  There is only one person in the history, so it must of been that person.

@sdagleydoes collecting inventory information for something like 'printers'  add bloat to the JAMF database?

@tcandela Any inventory data you collect is going to increase the size of your database. If you're hosted in Jamf Cloud that shouldn't be an issue. If you're running an on-prem Jamf Pro instance you should be monitoring the available free space on your MySQL server to make sure you're not running low.
