 * 9) In the “Description:” field type a description of the printer. For example, “HP Color Printer”.
 * 10) Click Continue.
 * 11) The server will automatically detect supported printers and fill in the “Device:” field with the detected printers. If you have multiple printers on the network or plugged into the server, you will have multiple options. Click the “Device:” field to display a list of printers and choose the model that matches the printer.
 * 12) Click Continue.
 * 13) The server will automatically select and fill in the “Model:” field with the recommended or closest matching supported printer model.
