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.
Change Printer window components
Printers and Queues
sections
The Change Printer window contains two sections:
• [Printers]: The [Printers] section lists the printers that the
system detects in the printer discovery file when XDS
Plus is started. It also lists an Unconnected printer and a
queue for supported printers. Refer to “Printer and queue
setup,” earlier in this chapter, for further information about
this file.
The columns in the Printers table display the following
properties:
– Name: The name that was given to the printer when it
was installed at your site
– Type: The type or brand of printer, such as the Xerox
DocuColor 2060
– Jobs: The number of jobs that have been submitted
to the printer, based on the type of viewing filter that
was most recently selected on the Print Monitor
window. For example, if [Processing Jobs] was
selected, the Jobs number would reflect only the
number of jobs that are currently being processed.
• [Queues]: The [Queues] section lists the print queues
that have been set up at the printer controller for your
selected printer. The columns in the Queues table display
the following properties:
– Name: Name that was specified for the queue at the
printer controller
– Printer: Name of the printer that is associated with
the queue
– Accept Jobs: Indicates whether or not the queue is
currently accepting jobs
– Release Jobs: Indicates whether or not the queue is
currently set up to release jobs
– Status: What the printer is currently doing, such as
“Printing,” “Stopped,” etc.
