Printer Maintenance
This screen allows you to create printer alias names in CSM and map those names to previously installed printers in Windows. All other areas of CSM will use the alias to know which printer to send the documents to. The purpose of having an alias is being able to change the printer assignment in a single location, and not having to update all items. A common scenario would be when a printer is replaced, or has been re-detected by Windows under a different name.
Note: Start by making sure all of your printers have been properly installed in Windows and can print a Windows test page.
