Setting Preferences for Local USB Printer Discovery

The Local Printers tab controls the behavior of local printers.

You can change the following preferences:

When a new printer is connected:

• Show Printer Properties window

  This setting is the default. If unchecked, a panel notification icon and message is displayed for a few seconds. From here, you can click the icon to open the Printer Queue Properties dialog.

When a printer is disconnected:

• Show notification message

  Check this setting to receive a notification message when a local printer goes offline. Otherwise, you will not receive any notification.

When a printer is reconnected:

• Ask before printing pending documents

  If this setting is selected, when a local printer is reconnected, and its printer queue contains any documents to be printed, the queue is paused and an alert is shown.
