Configuring USB Printer Settings

Ensure that the printers are connected to the NAS via USB before performing this task.

Warning:

Restarting the NAS or updating QTS while print jobs are still in progress cancels all the queued print jobs.

  1. Go to Control Panel > System > External Device > USB Printer.

    QTS displays the detected USB printers on your network.

  2. Select a USB printer and then perform one or more of the following tasks.

    Task

    Action

    View printer information

    Click Printer Info.

    This displays the details of the selected printer.

    View printer log

    Click Printer Log.

    This displays the current and completed print jobs on the selected printer.

    Tip:

    You can stop, resume, or cancel ongoing or pending print jobs. You can also delete completed or pending print jobs. Click Clear to clear the history.

    Clean up spool space

    Click Clean Up Spool Space.

    This deletes the data stored in the printer spool.

    Configure printer settings

    Click Settings.

    This enables you to configure the following settings:

    • Stop printer sharing and clear print spool: Select this option to disable printing and delete all stored data on the selected printer.

    • Bonjour printer support: Select this option to introduce the printing service to the macOS users on your network.
  3. Optional: Specify the maximum number of print jobs allowed on each printer.

    One printer can support processing up to 1000 print jobs. The oldest print jobs are automatically overwritten if the printer reaches the maximum number of print jobs.

  4. Click Apply.
