Instructions

To do this, in the Do you want to link the printer to a monitoring agent? field, select Yes. Then select the desired agent from the list.

Click the Save button to create the printer and return to the grid, or the Save and Create button to create the printer and remain on the creation screen
If you register a printer manually, it will be created as managed and not monitored.
