Summary: For purposes of centralization of print management and logging, it may be desirable to configure all Macs and Windows PC’s in an environment to print through ExtremeZ-IP print server queues. By doing this, all print jobs are routed through and logged by ExtremeZ-IP, allowing all print activity to be audited using ExtremeZ-IP. This document walks through the steps required to set up a Windows client computer to print to an ExtremeZ-IP Print Server. Configuration Overview:

1. Add a new ‘local’ printer to the Windows client 2. Set up a new ‘Standard TCP/IP Port’ that points to the ExtremeZ-IP print server queue

and assign it to this local printer 3. Configure the local printer type/driver

Detailed Instructions: Before you begin setting up a Windows client to print to an ExtremeZ-IP print server, be sure that you have noted the print server name or IP address, print queue name, and printer make/model. You will need this information during setup of the printer. 1. Go to the Windows Control Panel and select “Printers and Faxes”. 2. Select “Add a printer” 3. At the “Welcome to the Add Printer Wizard” screen, click “Next”.

4. Select “Local printer attached to this computer”, uncheck “Automatically detect and install
