printers configured for this server. Click Show Completed Jobs to see information about
jobs that are already printed.
 Create a printer class??”Click Classes; then click Add Class and identify a name and
location for a printer class. Click Continue. Then, from the list of Printers configured on
your server, select the ones to go into this class.

administration pages to view the printers you have configured. For each printer

print jobs for the queue), Reject Jobs (to not accept any further print jobs for the moment),
or Print Test Page (to print a page).
