How to manually update a printer description in a PrintServer

  1. Start PrintGuide™.
  2. Locate the PrintServer on the list of Detected Devices and double-click it.
  3. Locate a Logical Printer that match your requirements and double-click it.
  4. Change the description so it becomes unique to you (write it down to ease later identification of the logical printer).
  5. Click File, Save As to save the configuration to file (*.cf2).
  6. Open the configuration file in a plain text editor (Notepad).
  7. Search for the description you wrote down earlier. Write down the printer incarnation id.
    Example (incarnation is 1):
    
    BEGIN_CONFIGURATION PRINTER 1
    
    
  8. Open the relevant printer description file (*.itc) in a plain text editor (Notepad). A collection of these files were installed together with PrintGuide™ in a subdirectory named 'Printer Descriptions'.
  9. Edit the file to match the printer incarnation you wrote down earlier (example 1) and save the file under a new name.
  10. In PrintGuide™, Monitor View, highlight the PrintServer in the list of Detected Devices.
  11. Select PrintServer, Update Configuration.
  12. Change Files of Type to All files *.*, locate the edited *.itc file.
  13. Click Open.
  14. Click OK to confirm, remembering to check Restart PrintServer after download.
    The PrintServer merges the edited *.itc file with its current configuration.
