Provide the details for your printer
Creating a printer
The final step on the server-side of the process is to create the printer object that is associated with a physical printing device. Start by going to iPrint | Create Printer. On this screen, shown above, give your printer a name (I recommend something short here), and specify in which eDirectory container the printer object should reside. Also specify the name of the print manager that is responsible for this printer. The DNS name/IP address field is particularly important. In this field, specify the DNS name or IP address of your printer. Optionally, give you printer a location and description. The default printer type is LPR with a name of PASSTHROUGH, which works for HP printers with JetDirect cards. Click Next when you're ready.
