TOPIC

    This article discusses the possibility of administering print queues with the Apple Printer Utility.


DISCUSSION

    Though the Apple Printer Utility was designed to administer printers, you can select and open an AppleShare IP Print Server queue as well. If you attempt to do so you may be presented with one of these dialogs:

    "The selected printer has a spooler attached to it. This application has only limited functionality in this case."

    If you click Continue, the Apple Printer Utility will then allow you to perform these limited functions: Restart the printer, Send PostScript File, and Print Font Samples.

    "A PostScript error has occurred in the LaserWriter. Restart the printer and try again."

    This dialog is displayed when the print queue has security enabled. While security is enabled for that print queue, you will not be able to open it with the Apple Printer Utility. Contact your print server's administrator should you need to disable security
