Filtering the List of Print Servers
In an environment with a large number of print servers, you may wish to set up
filters to make it easier to find individual print servers or groups of print servers.
Filters are similar to wildcards in DOS or other operating systems. A filter wildcard
uses the wildcard characters
*
and
?
to select a set of print servers. The
?
wildcard
character matches any character in a print server name, and the
*
character represents
zero or more characters.
For example, to limit the print server display to servers MKT-01, MKT-02, MKT-
03, ..., you could use the filter MKT-??. To display all servers with names beginning
with S, you can use the filter S*.
To establish and use a new filter:

Press the
Define Filter Strings
button.
