How to rename, uninstall, or reinstall a NuGenesis UNIFY printer queue - WKB197235

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Rename, delete, and/or install a NuGenesis UNIFY printer queue.

ENVIRONMENT

• NuGenesis 9 SDMS
• NuGenesis 8 SDMS
• The NuGenesis UNIFY software is installed on a supported client or server version of Windows
• One or more UNIFY printer queues are present

PROCEDURE

• Rename:
  1. Open the Control Panel > Devices and Printers
  2. Right-click the NuGenesis UNIFY printer and click Printer Properties (NOTE: If there are two or more UNIFY queues present, the queues will be "stacked" and only one UNIFY printer will appear in the printer list; the individual queues will appear as a sub-menu below Printer Properties.)
  3. The Printer Name field is on the General tab
  4. Type a new name for the printer into the text box and click OK
• Uninstall a queue (NOT uninstalling the UNIFY software):
  1. Open the Control Panel > Devices and Printers
  2. Right-click the NuGenesis UNIFY printer and click Remove Device (as with renaming a queue, if there are multiple queues present, they will appear as a sub-menu below Remove Device)
• Install a UNIFY queue:
  1. Run the NuGenesis UNIFY software installation program
  2. The installation program finds the UNIFY software and prompts the user for the name of a new UNIFY queue
  3. Type a name for the queue and proceed with the installation process

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Renaming or deleting a queue are operations that are controlled by the "Manage printer" privilege on the printer. If users do not have this privilege, they will not be able to rename or delete a UNIFY queue.

The Unify print driver cannot be renamed or copied to another PC. A complete installation is required.
