Setting up printers for a location

Generally, you set up printers on a location basis so that any user logging on at any computer in a location will have connections to the printers listed for that location. You can specify a particular printer to be the default printer for that location.

To add a printer to a location

From the left-hand pane, expand Locations.
From the left-hand pane, right-click the required location and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Printers tab.
Click the Add button.
From the 'Available items' list, select the printers you want.
Click OK to close the Select Printer window.
Click OK.

To delete a printer from a location

From the left-hand pane, choose Locations.
Right-click the required location and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Printers tab.
Select the printer you want to delete from the location.
Click the Remove button.
Click OK.

To specify a default printer for a location

The first printer you set up for a location will be the default printer. When you add further printers, you can specify the default printer.

From the left-hand pane, choose Locations.
Right-click the required location and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Printers tab.
Select the printer you want to make the default printer.
Click the Make Default button.
Click OK.

Notes

To change the default printer, simply repeat this procedure selecting a different printer.
You can use the same process to manage multiple locations. Use the All Locations list to select all of the required locations. (You can filter the list to easily find the required locations.) Only printers that are assigned to all the selected locations are listed in the Printers tab. The Printers tab will only show a default printer if it is the same for all the locations selected.
If there is a default printer for a location and a default printer for the computer, the default printer for the computer takes precedence.
Location properties are also available for a selected location by choosing in the toolbar, or from the File menu choose Properties.
