Adding or deleting a printer from a computer

As well as specifying printers for a location, you can specify a printer for a computer. This is useful if you want to allow only users of certain computers to print to a particular printer.

To add a printer to a computer

From the left-hand pane, choose Computers, All Computers.
From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Printers tab.
Click the Add button.
To add a printer:
From the 'Available printers' list, select the printer you want to add and click the > button, or double-click the printer.
To add all available printers, click the >> button.

Click OK twice to close the windows.

Notes

You can use the same process to manage multiple computers. First select all of the computers that you wish to manage. Only printers that are assigned to all the selected computers are listed in the Printers tab.
Once you have made any changes to a computer's properties, the computer must be restarted for the new settings to take effect.
You can also set a printer to be the default for a computer.
Computer properties are also available by selecting the computer and choosing in the toolbar, or from the File menu choosing Properties.
