Set Up Named Printers

The first step in configuring Named Printers is to name them! Printers must be set up with printer IDs:

1. Log in as an administrator.

2. Navigate to the Assign Named Printers window (Microsoft Dynamics GP drop-down menu > Setup > System > Named Printers).

3. Confirm that a machine ID is entered, and that a default printer has been assigned in Dynamics GP.

4. Click on Setup to open the Setup Named Printers window.
   
   
   

5. Create a new printer ID by typing the desired name in the Printer ID field.
   
   
   

6. Choose the Printer Class from the drop-down menu options:
   1. System: Applies the same designated printer across companies and for every GP user.
   2. User: Allows each individual user to be assigned a unique printer, applied to every company the user prints from.
   3. Company: Gives the option to assign a printer on a per-company basis, no matter which user is printing in that company.
   4. User & Company: Ties printers to individual users on a per-company basis.
      
      
      

7. Fill in the rest of the fields as required by the Printer Class; a Printer Name must be selected by using the lookup.

!When setting up a printer for check copies, you must enter the integer value (1, 2, 3) for the number of copies desired in the ‘Extra Description’ field. Check copies will not print if this field is left blank.

8. Click Save.

9. Proceed to assign printers to Mekorma Tasks.
