Legacy printer driver on modern clients

Hi devistollon,

thanks for the Update.

The Print Server Properties dialog box is not very intuitive, and it is located in a different place than the printer properties dialog box.

Here is a more detailed step-by-step guide on how to find the Print Queue section and create a new print queue:

1. Open Printers and Faxes.
2. On the File menu, click Server Properties.
3. In the Print Server Properties dialog box, click the Queues tab.

If you do not see the Queues tab, then you are probably looking at the wrong dialog box. Make sure that you have opened the Print Server Properties dialog box, and not the printer properties dialog box.

To open the printer properties dialog box, right-click on the printer icon in Printers and Faxes and select Properties.

Once you have opened the Print Server Properties dialog box, click the Queues tab.

To create a new print queue, click the New button.

In the New Print Queue dialog box, type a name for the print queue and then select the printer that you want to use.

Click Next.

Select the Local printer attached to this computer option and then select the Use the following port option.

In the Port drop-down list, select the port that the printer is connected to.

Click Next.

Select the Share this printer check box and then type a name for the printer in the Printer name box.

Click Finish.

I don't have this environment to test it, but as far as I can remember those settings where there.
