After you have installed a printer, you have access to a number of options for configuring the printer. You must understand what options are available and how to implement them because users are likely to ask you to help those set up printers and to help troubleshoot printing options when printing does not occur as they expect. You access some options for managing a printer by right-clicking the printer’s icon in the Printers and Faxes window and selecting a command in Microsoft windows.
Commands that you can perform from the printer’s shortcut menu include the following:
- Set As Default Printer Specifies this printer as the default printer for use in all programs. When a user prints and does not specify a printer, this is the printer that Windows uses. You can specify only one printer as the default at a given time.
- Printing Preferences Enables the configuration of the default page orientation, page order, pages per sheet, and so on.
- Pause Printing Stops print documents from being sent to the printer. When the printer is paused, there is a check mark next to this option in the action menu. To restart the printer, select the Pause Printing option again to clear the check mark. Pausing printing is useful when a number of documents are waiting to be printed and you need to make adjustments to or fix a problem with the printer configuration.
- Sharing Allows the management of shared printer resources.
- Use Printer Offline/Online Allows the printer to be used offline if the computer is not connected to the printer or the network, or if the user wants to hold all jobs locally for a period of time. When you bring the printer back online, all documents waiting in the local queue are printed.
- Properties Provides access to the printer’s Properties dialog box, from which you can configure a number of options, including many of the options that you can also access from a printer’s shortcut menu. The options that are available in the Properties dialog box are covered in the next few sections.
Follow these steps while configuring a printer to your windows xp computer. If you still have technical; issues with your printer then don’t worry there are companies which are providing technical support for computers and printers.
