Printers pane
The Printers pane displays a list of printers that have been added to the Print Manager.
The following information (all editable using the Printer Settings Dialog) is displayed for each printer:
- Printer Name: Displays
the name of the printer.
The background color and the icon to the left of the printer indicates the current status of the queue. The two options are: - Green: The queue is active and any job sent to it is immediately streamed to the printer.
- Yellow: The queue is paused and jobs will wait before being streamed to the printer.
- Hot Folders: Displays the paths of any hot folders.
- IP Address: Displays either the IP Address or machine name of the IPDS printer.
- Port (IPDS Only): Displays the port the printer communicates on.
- LPR (PCL and PostScript Only): Displays the printing file type.
- Description: Displays printer description.
