For users to access the printers in the Novera EPIC environment, you must assign users and groups access. You can also modify a group’s access to an existing printer.
You cannot modify the attributes of Printer resources because printers are typically connected to specific daemon objects. When you display the printers property sheet, the Novera EPIC Management System colors the boxes gray to let you know that they are read-only attributes.
