Consider the following items before you administer a printer:
  • Printers directly connected to CMS servers is a legacy feature that is not supported with new installations.
  • Before you can assign a printer on the Printer Administration page, it must already be set up on the operating system.
  • The printer set up as the default printer will receive all terminal requested print jobs, unless otherwise specified.
  • If jobs are sent to a printer that is no longer administered, the print job will be sent to the default printer and an error will be logged in the Maintenance Error Log.
  • The name of a printer administered on the Printer Administration page can be used by terminal users as the default destination when printing historical reports.
