Prerequisites

The implementation of Watchdoc Print Client for Chrome requires the creation of a universal queue.

If necessary, you can modify this queue (to rename it, for example) or create new queues to meet specific redirection needs (management of particular user rights, for example). To modify the default universal queue or to create new ones, see the HowTo? document : Managing Watchdoc: current operations - 3. Managing print queues
