Server Admin 10.4 Help

Choosing a Default LPR Queue

You can use print service General settings in Server Admin to specify a default LPR queue for the server.

Setting a default LPR queue makes it easier for clients to print without knowing the names of the queues on the server.

1. In Server Admin, select Print in the Computers & Services list.
2. Click Settings, then click General.
3. Choose the default queue from the pop-up menu.
4. Click Save.

   If the queue you want to use is not in the list, it might not currently be shared using LPR.

A user can add this default LPR queue to his or her computer's printer list without knowing the queue's name by choosing "Use default queue on server" when adding the printer.

You can also set the default LPR queue using the serveradmin command in Terminal. For more information, see the print service chapter of the command-line administration guide.
