• Queue: If your printer requires it, enter the queue name for your printer. If you don’t know the queue name, try leaving it blank or see your network administrator.

• Location: Enter the printer’s location (for example, “outside my office”), so you can identify it in the Printer pop-up menu.

Your printer should now be connected to the printer.
