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.
  1. Navigate to the Assign Named Printers window (Microsoft Dynamics GP drop-down menu > Setup > System > Named Printers).
  1. Confirm that a machine ID is entered, and that a default printer has been assigned in Dynamics GP.
  1. Click on Setup to open the Setup Named Printers window.


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


  1. 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.


  1. Fill in the rest of the fields as required by the Printer Class; a Printer Name must be selected by using the lookup.
  1. Click Save.
  1. Proceed to assign printers to Mekorma Tasks.
