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.
An “X” means the print queue is rejecting print jobs. The detail view shows the queue in red.
A “!” means the print queue is disabled. A disabled queue continues to accept print jobs. These jobs are stored in the queue but are not printed. The detail view shows the queue in yellow.
Note: An enabled queue might reject print jobs, just as a disabled queue might accept them. A graphic of a persona means the user has personalized settings. The detail view shows a check mark in the Printer Settings column.
A print queue I used to print to 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?
Enable a print queue:
Open the printer driver as an administrator.
From the main window, right-click the print queue icon.
Select the Enabled check box.
Disable a print queue:
Open the printer driver as an administrator.
From the main window, right-click the print queue icon.
Clear the Enabled check box.
