5707.0. "Print Manager Server Viewer in NT 4.0?" by SHRMSG::HOWARD (Ben) Mon Feb 17 1997 12:27

    I searched for something on this topic and didn't find anything.  Is it
    possible to get something similar to the V3.51 "Print Manager" in NT
    4.0?  Specifically, I would like to have the ability to view queues on
    remote servers without having to add the queue to my system.  
    
    In Print Manager, I can click on "Server Viewer" and bring up a list of
    all the queues on a server, then pick one that I want to view.  But in
    NT 4.0, it appears that I have to add the queue.  Since I have to
    manage about 50 queues, often at a moment's notice, I am forced to stay
    with NT 3.51 on one machine.  
    
    There several other people who need to do this for other sites, and
    none of them had an answer.

    Open network neighborhood, dbl click on the server you want to manage,
    right click on the printer folder and create a shortcut to the desktop.
    You should be able to manage the printers from the shortcut if you have
    the appropriate permissions.

    This looks even easier than the old way.  Thanks.  I'll pass it on.
