To add a printer and document type combination, do the following instructions:
Go to Setup and select Settings.
Click on Manage Remote Printers from the Shipping group of settings.
Click on Add a new printer.
Add the printer name. When adding the printer's name, please ensure it is the exact name on your computer as when the printer was installed.
Optional: Select a carrier for the printer/document combination.
