Printer Properties - General Page
Description
IP address or hostname of the printer that will be servicing the print
jobs in this queue. This may be the DNS name or the IP address of the
network printer (for example, hpprinter.mycomputer.com or
192.0.0.192) . In order to use the DNS name, a DNS server address
must be configured on the appliance in the Network Settings page.
The name must be alphanumeric and can contain dashes ( - ).
Description of the printer.
HP JetDirect internal card or single-port external box: Select
this if the printer has an internal HP JetDirect print server card,
or is connected to an external single-port HP JetDirect print
server.
HP JetDirect 3-port external box: Some external HP print
servers support more than one printer (for example, the HP
JetDirect 500X). For these cases, choose which port the printer
is connected to.
Other print server: Select this option if the target print server is
not an HP JetDirect print server. Many print servers will work
well with the default selections of Hewlett-Packard JetDirect
Print Server. If, however, the print jobs do not appear on the
printer, select this option and complete "Remote Queue Name"
with the remote queue name recommended by the print server
manufacturer. Refer to the lpr or UNIX printing section of the
print server manual.
Select this to hide this printer's name in Network Neighborhood for
clients. (This does not prevent the printer from being used, just from
being displayed in Network Neighborhood.)
Select this to print a banner page preceding every print job. (The
contents of the banner page are not configurable.)
Check this box to pause printing from this printer. To resume printing
from this printer, clear this box.
