If you choose None, print jobs sent to the default queue will not be accepted by the server
(and therefore will not be printed).
7 Select “Server log” if you want to archive the print service log file. Specify how often (by
entering the number of days) you want to archive the current log and start a new one.
8 Select “Queue logs” if you want to archive the print queues’ log files. Specify how often (by
entering the number of days) you want to archive the current log and start a new one.
Adding Printers
You can share any PostScript-compatible printer that has a queue defined for it on the server.
You use the Print module of Server Settings to “add” printers to the server. When you add a
printer, the print queue is created automatically.
Note: You do not need to “add” USB printers connected directly to the server. Queues for
USB printers are created automatically without that step.
To add a printer and create a print queue:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Print and choose Show Print Monitor.
3 Click New Queue.
4 Choose the protocol used by the printer you want to add from the pop-up menu.
5 For “AppleTalk” or “Directory Services” printers, select a printer in the list and click Add. For
“LPR Printers using IP,” enter the printer Internet address or DNS name, select whether to
use the default queue on the server, enter the queue name, and click Add.
If you want to print from the server, set up a print queue on the server using Print Center.
Configuring Print Queues
You configure a print queue to specify which protocols to use to share the queue and to
specify the default settings for new print jobs. You can also change the name of the queue.
To configure a print queue:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Print and choose Show Print Monitor.
3 Select the print queue you want to configure and click Edit.
4 If you want users to see a name other than the Print Center queue name, enter a name in the
Queue Name field.
Entering a queue name does not change the Print Center queue name.
