Modify Printer Group Help

Modify Printer Group allows you to add or delete printers from a custom Printer Group. This function is only available on printer configurations containing a hard drive.

To modify a printer group, select a custom Printer Group from the navigation tree on either the Status, Identity, or Modify tab. Once a printer group has been selected, the Modify button becomes active. Click the Modify Group button; the Modify Printer Group page displays with the selected printer group loaded into the right side of the page. Select a source printer group from the drop-down box to display in the left side of the page. You can select any printer group as the source group.

Note: You can only modify custom Printer Groups. If you select a default printer group, such as All, Ready, or Warning, the Modify button displays as inactive.

The source printer group displays printers by IP Address. The second field is a drop-down list that allows you to select printers by Model, Status, Location, or Contact. Click the checkbox next to each of the printers you want to copy or move. Click the Copy or Move buttons located in the center of the page to perform the requested action.

Note: The Copy and Move buttons remain inactive until you make a selection from the source printer group.

Once you have copied or moved the desired printers, you can either click Done to finish, or select another printer group if you wish to copy or move more printers into your printer group. If you copied or moved printers into your new printer group by mistake or you want to delete specific printers from your printer group, click the checkbox next to those printers and click the Delete Printers button.

To delete a custom printer group, click the Custom Groups folder in the navigation tree and select the printer group you want to delete. Click the Modify Group button, which displays directly below the navigation tree. The Modify Printer Group page displays and the name of the custom printer group you selected defaults in the drop-down box on the right. Click the Delete Group button next to the custom printer group name to delete the printer group. You receive a confirmation dialog box. If you wish to continue deleting the printer group, click OK; otherwise click Cancel.

Access to the Modify Printer Groups functions are controlled by the Administrator. You must have a user name and password to access this page. Refer to the Administrator Security Settings page in CentreWare IS.
You can only delete a custom Printer Group. If you select a non-custom printer group, such as All, Ready, or Warning, the Delete Printers button displays as inactive.
