Print to a printer at home

If your organization enabled home office printing for your business laptop, you will notice the following behavior:

• When you power on your computer at home, it attempts to discover your printers at home.

  • Your computer can only discover powered-on printers.

  • If the printer is a USB printer, it must be attached to you computer.

• When at home, your computer installs a print queue for your printers at home.

  This Printix-managed home office print queue must be used for work-related printing. Data is collected.

  • The first part of your organization's Printix Home (such as acme.printix.net) is appended to the printer name and displayed within parentheses.

    Example: myprinter (acme)

• Any existing print queue (myprinter) for the home printer remains untouched and can be used for personal printing. Data is not collected.

To print work-related documents, print as usual, and select the Printix-managed home office print queue.

Example: myprinter (acme)

To print personal documents, print as usual, and select the print queue without the appended parenthesis.

Example: myprinter
