    Devices and Printers. No location tab


    Hi,

    I can not find a way within Windows7 to display a printers location. I have searched for the option to enable a location tab however I can only enable the following tabs/details about my printers:-

    - Name
    - Model
    - Classification
    - Device category
    - Manufacturer
    - Status

    Is it possible to display a printers location within Windows7 like XP?

    PS. I'm also having the same problem enabling the "comments" tab/field.


    Many thanks

    Hello Nigel, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Opening "Printers" using this shortcut below will have a "Locations" column in it.
