Assigning print queues to printers

A print queue must be assigned to a printer before the printer can take print jobs from the network.

1. From the browser, select the object ``Details'' dialog by double-clicking on the printer object.

2. From the ``Printer'' dialog, select the ``Assignments'' page.

   The ``Assignments'' page appears.

3. Select Add.

4. The ``Select Object'' dialog appears. Only print queue objects appear in the list of objects.

5. In the ``Directory Context'' field, browse until the queue you want is listed in the ``Objects'' field.

   When you are assigning print queue to a printer, only print queues appear in the ``Objects'' field.

   To limit the range of print queues listed, you can use the optional ``Name Filter'' and ``Directory Context Filter'' fields. These fields allow you to use the wildcard delimiter ``*'' in the same way it is used in DOS. For example, to list only containers beginning with ``BR'' in the ``Directory Context Filter'' field, you would type BR*.

6. Select the print queue in the ``Objects'' field. Then choose OK.

   You are returned to the ``Printer'' dialog.

7. Select the ``Configuration'' page and make any necessary changes, including parameters available after selecting ``Communication''.

   See `` Configuring printers''.
