    2. In the Available on workstations field, specify which Managed Queue appears on which workstation.
      The available Managed Queues can be filtered by the workstation names. If this field is empty, the Managed Queue will be available on all workstations.
  5. In the Drivers & Language section, select a device from the Copy drivers and language from device drop-down list. The printer driver assignments and printer language selections of the selected device can be copied for easier configuration. Only devices in the same pull group(s) for the Managed Queue are listed in the list.

      • Environment: 64-bit or 32-bit.
      • OS Version: More than one version can be selected.
      • Package name: Select a printer driver package from the uploaded packages. Printer driver packages can be uploaded using the Equitrac Printer Driver Uploader tool.

      If the printer driver has not been specified for a specific OS, Managed Queue will not be available on workstations using those OS versions.
