What is GP’s Named Printers Feature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Named Printers feature allows you to default certain reports to certain printers and\/or printer drawers.  Instead of having to remember to select the correct printer for different reports, have GP automatically send those reports to the correct printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you keep paper in one drawer of a printer and checks in a second drawer of that printer, you can use Named Printers to tell GP to automatically pull from the second printer drawer when printing checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set up Named Printers, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > System > Named Printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time you open Named Printers, you will be prompted to enter a unique Machine ID.  You can accept the default machine ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must first assign a printer as the Default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then set up different Printer IDs assigned to different printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your Printer IDs created, you can then assign reports to these printers by clicking on the Assign button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
