Create, edit, or duplicate virtual printers

By default, three virtual printers are set up to correspond to the Print, Hold, and Direct queues. You cannot edit these printers, but you can duplicate them and edit them, or you can create new virtual printers.

The direct virtual printer cannot be modified, but Administrators can modify the print and hold virtual printers. Administrators can duplicate one of the default virtual printers, or another virtual printer, and modify its settings.

Only Administrators can create, edit, and duplicate virtual printers. Administrators can also publish job presets as virtual printers.

    • To create a virtual printer, click New in the toolbar.

    • To edit a virtual printer, click Edit in the toolbar.
