Convert print queues

Check Convert print queues for a network to start printing through Printix. This way, you can go live with Printix one network at a time. Eventually, check the global Convert print queue on the Settings page.

Optionally, do a cleanup and remove the unused print queues.

You can also test conversion of print queues on a single computer.

During conversion, the port settings are modified to use an Internet port and allow printing through Printix.

  • Network printers are converted if they are set up with a standard TCP/IP port or WSD port.

  • Shared network printers are converted.

    Example: Reception on PrintServer becomes Reception ASD, ASD Reception, or Reception depending on the choice of Print queue naming.

    See Why is the shared print queue not converted right away?.

  • Locally connected printers (USB) are not converted.

  • No printers are converted on servers.

After deployment, do you see additional, unknown print queues in Printix Administrator? See Why are there additional print queues?.
