To ensure you're connecting to the newly configured print server (AS-PRQ) we'd like you to delete your existing printers that point to the old print server (AS-PRQ-01)


  1. Open System Settings or System Preferences (the name depends on what OS your computer is running) and find Printers & Scanners at the bottom of the menu on the left side.Ā 


Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  2. Find ANY printer that has AS-PRQ-01 at the beginning of the name and click on it. Hint: You can delete all the AS printers if you'd prefer and are unsure which is on the old or new server.


Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  3. Click Remove Printer... from the bottom of this window.


Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  4. On the next window, click Remove Printer again. This dialog box will close and bring you back to the Printers & Scanners menu.



Once your printers are removed you can follow instructions to add printers from the new print server, AS-PRQ.
