# $ + K Adding printer drivers to the database
You must install the Windows printer drivers in the printer database to be able to use them with Print Manager.  This is similar to adding a new printer driver in the Windows Control Panel, but much easier and more convenient. 

1.	Choose Drivers from the Configure menu.
	The Printer Drivers dialog box displays.
2.	Choose Add.
	The Add Printer Drivers dialog box displays.
3.	Select one or more of the drivers in the Available Drivers list box and choose the Add option.
4.	Select the Copy Drivers check box so it displays with an X and type the name of the directory that you want to copy the drivers to.
	You can type the directory name in one of the following formats:  drive:\directory or server/volume:directory.
	You should copy the drivers to a directory that is in the user’s path. For example, in a network installation of Windows, you can install the files in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. You can also use the WWPRINT\DRIVERS directory if you place that directory in each user’s path.
	Note:  Any postscript drivers with a .WPD (Windows Printer Definition) and .PPD (Postscript Printer Definition) extension must be copied to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
5.	Choose Add.
	Print Manager Editor installs the printer driver and uses the driver’s default settings.
	Note:  As Print Manager Editor installs the driver, you see the printer’s options dialog box display. Do not press any keys until Print Manager returns to the Add Printer Drivers dialog box. If the Print Manager Editor cannot find a printer driver on the search path, a message box displays.  Choose OK in the message box to continue adding any other selected drivers. Choose Cancel to halt the process and return you to the Add Printer Drivers dialog box. Any drivers selected before the error message remain installed.
6.	Choose Close until you exit the dialog boxes.

# $ Add Button
When you choose the Add button, you are given the opportunity to set the default options for network, icon, help file, and printer setup features for each selected driver.

# $ + K Modifying printer drivers 
Modify Printer Driver allows you to enter default values for each printer driver.  These values may be replaced later when actually adding network printers. The Type text box contains text describing the printer being selected. Examples of valid types might be "HP Plotter," "Color Laser," etc.
You may also specify a context-sensitive help file to be associated with each printer.  This is a Windows Write compatible file with an extension of .HLP, which is placed in the Print HELP directory. 
At this time, you may also add a suffix, or default file extension, for this printer driver.  Suffixes are useful when adding jobs directly to the print queue through Qview.  Valid examples of suffixes might be .PS for Postscript, .PCL for HP LaserJet files, .PLT for plotter files, etc.

# $ + K Attaching to another file server
When adding and modifying network printers, Print Manager Editor allows you to attach or to detach from any file servers connected to your network.  NetWare limits the number of servers you can attach.

1.	From the Add Network Printers dialog box, choose the left Server pop-box (magnifier).  The Attach/Detach File Server dialog box displays.
2.	Select a file server in the File Servers list box that you want to attach.
3.	Type your user name (or GUEST) and password, if required.
4.	Choose Attach to connect to the file server.
5.	Choose Close to return to the previous dialog box.
	You may now select the newly attached server from a list box activated by the right Server pop-box.
	Note:  If you choose Close without choosing Attach, you do not connect to the file server. Make sure that you choose Attach after you type your user name and password.

# $ + K Deleting a network printer
You may delete or replace your network printers at any time.
1.	Select a printer in the Print Manager Editor window.
2.	Choose Delete Network Printer from the Configure menu.
3.	Choose Yes to delete the selected printer.

# $ + K Creating context-sensitive help
Print Manager makes use of two types of online help:  Print Manager Help and Printer Help. Print Manager Help, included with each installation of Print Manager, documents program features such as menu commands, options, and operating procedures. Printer Help, which is context sensitive, can be created and modified by the network administrator for Print Manager users.
Print Manager's customized Printer Help supports help files created in Microsoft Write, an application included with each copy of Microsoft Windows. Write is a graphical word processor that allows you to select multiple fonts and incorporate graphics. Once created, these help files can be linked together with Hypertext-like fields.
Printer Help files must adhere to the following rules to work properly with Print Manager. First, they must be saved in Write with a .HLP file extension. Second, they must be placed in the HELP directory (or the Help directory you designated during installation).
1.	Run Microsoft Write (WRITE.EXE).
2.	Create your text file and format the text with selected fonts. Write accepts many graphics formats from the Clipboard. Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for more specific information about Write's features.
3.	Choose Save from the File menu, replacing the .WRI extension with the .HLP extension before you save.
	You may also rename your Write documents to end in .HLP after you have created them.
4.	Move the .HLP files to the HELP directory or to the directory defined by the WWPATH entry during installation.
The newly created help files will now be available to Print Manager and Print Manager Editor.
Hypertext Fields
You can link customized help files together to create a Hypertext-like help system. This can be useful for supplying documentation on particular printers to network users  -- in effect, an online printer manual.
1.	Type the tilde (~) symbol.
2.	Type the linked text that displays in the help file. Though not required, you can underline the text so that it displays underlined in the help file.
3.	Type the @ symbol.
4.	Type the name of the Write file you want to link.
5.	Press ENTER.
For example,
~How to Change the Toner@lsrtoner.hlp
~How to Clear a Paper Jam@lsrjam.hlp

The underlined Hypertext jump in the example above indicates visually which text in the help file contains more information. This is similar to the Windows Help system, but the underline is not necessary.
When you display the help screen, only the help topic titles appear. When the pointer cursor passes over a Hypertext jump area, it changes to a magnifying glass.
You must begin the Hypertext fields at the start of a paragraph. In addition, you cannot follow the field with any other information other than the help filename.

Requesting context-sensitive help 

# $ + K Requesting context-sensitive help
Print Manager follows the standard Windows convention of SHIFT+F1 to provide context-sensitive help. When you press SHIFT+F1 to request help, the cursor changes to an arrow with a question mark. You may then choose drop-down menu commands for specific information pertaining to those commands. Command-specific help is part of Print Manager Help.
You may also press SHIFT+F1 and then choose a printer in the Connected Printers or the Printer Index list boxes to request help.  For example, if you have created a custom help file for a PostScript printer and defined it in the Print Manager Editor, that custom file displays when you request help on that printer.

# $ + K Printing the database to an ASCII file
You can print the information from the printer database to an ASCII text file, which you can print or view using a text editor.
1.	Choose Print Database from the Configure menu.
	The Print to File Options dialog box displays.  The Active Database field indicates the location of the printer database.
2.	Check the Drivers box to include the printer driver information in the report and the .WI Files box to include WIN.INI entries for the printers.
3.	Use the Printer box to specify whether to include all printers, all network printers, all personal printers, or individual printers.
4.	In the Output Filename text box, type the name of the ASCII file where you want to contain the information. The default file name is WWPRINT.TXT.
	OR
	Choose Browse, select a file from a list box, and choose OK.
5.	Choose Print.
	Print Manager Editor prints the report to the filename you selected.
