Customizing your printer queue list    

You can use the Servers and Connections dialog box to set up 

a customized printer list that contains the names of the virtual 

printers you use most often. The names must be available to 

you on the file server. You can select virtual printers from 

more than one server.

For each virtual printer in the list, you must assign a unique 

name. The name you assign may indicate the location or 

purpose of the printer.

If you are using TCP/IP, you must locate the following 

information before you begin this procedure:

•

The File Server name: The name you specify is the same 

as the host name of the DocuPrint server. The host file 

on your PC provides the mapping between the IP 

address and the host name.

•

The Print Queue: The name of the virtual printer on the 

DocuPrint server. To avoid confusion, use the same 

name for the virtual printer and the printer.

To access the Servers and Connections dialog box, click 

[Printer Connection...] from the Quick Print window, or from 

the File menu.

Printer information about any selected virtual printer appears 

in the Printers area of the dialog box.
