Changing printer type

You must be an operator or user of a print server that services a printer to be able to change the type of printer you are using.

1. From the Available Options menu, select Printers.

   The ``Printers'' window appears with a list of active printers.

2. Select the desired printer from the list.

   The ``Printer name Configuration'' window appears.

3. Choose ``Printer Type''.

   A window appears showing the connection types available.

4. Choose the correct printer type from the connection types listed.

   For printers that attach directly to the network, see the network configuration documentation for your printer. (For example, HP IIIsi or 4si, COMPAQ PageMarq 20, GENICOM 7170, or Talaris 1794 Printstation.)

5. Modify the configuration for the type of printer you have selected.

   See ``Configuring printers'' for information on parameters for parallel printers. For detailed information on other printer types, use Help.

   NOTE: If you are running OS/2, you should select printer type ``Other/Unknown'' to ensure that print jobs are directed to an OS/2 queue instead of to a print server. For more information, select ``Unknown/Other'' and then select Help. If you select another printer type (Parallel or Serial) while running OS/2, be sure it is set up for ``Manual Load''.
