Adding Windows Printers Do not set up your printer to use LPR. Printing using LPR bypasses the control and monitoring features of PrintView. Printer Setup • Install two (2) printer drivers for each printer that PrintView will monitor. • For the first (Output) printer driver installation (or any existing, active printers already installed), make sure that the driver is configured to print correctly to the intended printer (right-click the printer icon, select Properties, then click Print Test Page to verify this). The Output printer should not be shared to prevent end users from bypassing PrintView; however, having an Output printer shared does not affect PrintView's operation. • For the second printer driver, start the Add Printer wizard, then select Local Printer, then Add or Create a new port, select Local Port for the Type, and the port name should be NUL. Click OK when this is complete (Figure 3). Figure 2 Add/Create New Local Port in Add Printer Wizard 4
