Printing Preferences

Each computer on a network has its own set of Printing Preferences, which instruct Genie to use a particular printer and tray for different printing jobs.

It follows that each computer on a network must have a different name, otherwise there will be printing confusion unless all computers print to the same printer.

Naming a Computer

On Macintosh, the name is set in the Sharing Preferences, in System Preferences, as shown below.

In this case, the computer name is “Laptop”.

On Windows, the name is set in the System Control Panel, accessed from the Start menu > Settings > Control Panels > System

Bear in mind that renaming a computer on a network, may upset a host of other settings, such as automatic mounting of other drives, automated batch copying of files, backup systems and Genie’s pathway to the Images folder if you change the name of the server.

Note: If you don’t know how to reset these links, then leave renaming of your computers to your network administrator.
