Configuring Printers

The default printer conﬁguration uses polled mode and LPT1 of the

NetWare server running the print server.

Procedure

1 From the browser, select the “Details” dialog for the printer you want to

configure by double-clicking on the printer object.

The printer “Identiﬁcation” page appears.

2 Complete or modify the fields as needed.

These ﬁelds are optional.

• “Other name” lists identification information associated with this printer that

helps you search for and identify specific printers.

• “Description” describes the function the printer performs (such as print Sales

documents).

• “Network Address” lists the 16-digit (8-byte) number associated with the

NetWare Server or workstation that this printer is cabled to.

• “Location” specifies the printer's physical location (such as a person's office).

• “Department” shows the department or division that generally uses the

printer.

• “Organization” lists the organization that can use the printer.

3 Select the “Configuration” page.

A printer “Conﬁguration” page appears similar to the following shown for a

parallel printer. This page allows you to store or deﬁne information about the

hardware conﬁguration of this printer and how it is used in the network.
