This section contains the procedures for adding and deleting
printers from the desktop.
To Add a
Printer to the Desktop |
 |
Add a printer to your system's configuration.
Follow the instructions in the system administration documentation
for your operating system.
Run the command:
env LANG=language /usr/dt/bin/dtprintinfo -populate |
Note that you must have super-user permission to run this
command.
Restart Print Manager or double-click Reload Actions
from the Desktop_Tools application group in Application Manager.
Verify that the printer shows up.
Send mail to your users to let them know they should
also restart Print Manager or run Reload Actions.
Each time it is invoked, Print Manager reads the system printers
configuration list. If it detects a new printer, it automatically
creates a new desktop printer action and icon for that printer.
You don't need to do anything else to make the printer appear on
the desktop.
Modifying the Job Update Interval |
|
To change how often the information displayed in Print Manager is updated,
modify the job update interval. By default, Print Manager queries
printers every thirty seconds for information on their print jobs.
You can change how often Print Manager queries the printers by using
the Update Interval slider in the Set Options dialog box (displayed
by choosing Set Options from the View menu).
