Printers
Printers are used to print Alarm/Event reports and Log File Browser reports that
were created in Report. The available printers and reports are listed in the
ReportManager dialog box in Operate.
FuelsManager will recognize all local printers, and allow the user to choose
between them under the ReportManager. If the Windows default print device is
also a local printer, FuelsManager will use that as its default printer. If the
Windows default printer is a network printer, or if the desired print device(s) are
network printers, additional steps must be taken to ensure FuelsManager can
utilize the device.
Using a Network Printer
In all but a few cases, FuelsManager will be set up to run as a service under
Windows 2000 or XP. Any application that runs as a service, however, is unable to
enumerate network printers because printers ' belong' to users and not to the
system.
In order for FuelsManager to be able to see a network print device, the printer
must be set up to be accessed as a local port. To accomplish this, create a local
printer (on the local system) that is mapped to the printer to the remote system.
