Printer Groups

All printing devices in MyQ can be divided into groups based on their location, model, vendor, category, etc.

On the Printers main tab, you can create new groups of printing devices. There are a number of MyQ functions where groups are used, for example, they can be assigned to particular print queues (see Queues), users can be given rights and restrictions concerning particular groups (see Rights) and reports can be set about particular groups only (see Reports).
