Printer and queue setup
NOTE: The printer discovery file must be set up on your
workstation before setting up the printer and queue. If the
printer discovery file was not added to your workstation
during installation, select the Preferences option from the
Options menu and add the printer discovery file.
Printers and their queues for XDS Plus printing are set up
automatically when XDS Plus is installed and run. XDS Plus
detects all printing systems with DocuSP controllers running
DocuSP 3.X that are connected to your workstation. You
record the network addresses of these printers in a file called
“printer.disc,” after you install XDS Plus on your workstation.
When you select [Change Printer...] on the XDS Plus window,
the names of the printers that are listed in the printer
discovery file are displayed in the [Printers] section of the
Change Printer window and on the Print Monitor tab.
Selecting a printer and queue
The Change Printer window enables you to select a printer
and a queue for the job that you want to print, and to view the
printer and queue properties.
