Print queue management

I see special icons on the printer in the icon view. What do the icons mean?

Three different icons may appear on the print queues.

A print queue I used to print to has disappeared. What happened?

The print queue was probably removed by an administrator. Try printing to a different queue, or contact your administrator.

Why can't I add or remove print queues?

You probably have normal user permissions. Only administrators have the ability to add or remove queues.

Do I need the root password to add or remove a print queue?

No, but you must open the printer driver as an administrator.

How can I enable or disable a print queue?

To enable a print queue:

  1. Open the printer driver as an administrator.

  2. From the main window, right-click the print queue icon.

  3. Select the Enabled check box.
