Printing From the Applications
When you have finished setting up the queue, you can print jobs from the applications. Start the print job from the
application, and specify the queue in the print dialog box. However, sometimes you can print only from the default
queue depending on the application (for example Mozilla). In these cases, before you start printing, set queue you
want to print to as the default queue. For information on specifying the default queue, see "Setting the Default
Queue."
