Assigning printers to print servers

A network printer must be assigned to a print server before you can perform network printing.

1. From the ``Print Server'' dialog, select the ``Assignments'' page.

   The ``Assignments'' page appears.

   Remember that print queues are assigned to printers, not to print servers. See ``Assigning print queues to printers''.

2. Select Add, and select the Printer object you want to assign.

   The ``Select Object'' dialog appears.

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

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

   To limit the range of printers 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.

4. Select the printer in the ``Objects'' field. Then select OK.

   You are returned to the ``Print Server'' dialog.

5. Select OK.
