List of Printers: This is the list of printers installed on the computer on which you are running Oracle Solaris Print Manager, or, if a naming service is being used, all printers in the naming service.

There are three columns in the list:

Printer Name: The name of the printer as specified during printer installation.

Printer Server: The name of the printer server for the printer specified in the Printer Name column.

Description: A description of the printer as specified during printer installation (New Attached Printer or New Network Printer) or modification (Modify Printer Properties). The description might include the location of the printer and its printer type.

The footer panel at the bottom of the window has two or three entries:

Default Printer: If no naming service is being used, the default printer for the computer on which you are running Oracle Solaris Print Manager. If a naming service is being used, the default printer for the naming service.

Naming Service: The naming service -- NIS or LDAP -- that is being used for printing. This is not displayed if no naming service is being used.

Domain or Host: The network domain you are working in or the current host (if no naming service is being used). If you are using a naming service, the list of printers includes all printers in this domain.
