Help CenterWhen you manage a printer or printer group, you will find two frequently used options, namely Inactive and Delete. These two options have different functions :
- Inactive status
This option is used to disable a printer or printer group without removing it from the system. Printers with Inactive status will not be used for printing, but the printer data is still stored and can be reactivated at any time if needed.
If the printer status is changed to Inactive but the printer is still registered in an active printer group, the printer will not be used for printing. As a result, the printer will not print even though it is still listed in the printer group. - Delete Printer
This option is used to permanently remove a printer or printer group from the system. Once removed, the printer data cannot be reused, and you will need to add it back if you want to use it again.
With the feature to delete and change the status to inactive, you can adjust the printer settings according to your needs.
