Where to Find the Printer Name To Setup Devices IDs in Windows 2000 / XP

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 16.02

Description:
In the ALEPH Guide (v16-18) there is a chapter called "Printing". An explanation can be found there on how to setup Devices IDs. The text refers to an old Windows file, "win.ini" and its [devices] section.
The problem is that there is no "[devices]" section in newer versions of Windows. How do we setup new Devices IDs for these newer Windows versions?

Resolution:
In order to find the name of the printer for the alephcom.ini [PrinterDeviceList] section:
1) Go to the "Start" button which appears on your screen at the bottom left
2) Click on "Settings"
3) Click on "Printers and Faxes"
4) Right-click the desired printer
5) Click on "Properties"
6) The name of the printer appears next to the picture of the printer
7) Paste the name of the printer in the device list in the file "alephcom.ini"
