LAST USED ON WORKSTATION FOR LOGIN 
Use this option if you want the system to store the choice of printer that is made while someone uses the login on a particular workstation. With this option enabled, the choice of printer for each Printing category is stored on the workstation and will be saved and re-used for the login on that workstation. Note, however, that if the same login is used on a different workstation, the choice of printer(s) may be different.
Each login on a particular workstation can have its own choice of printer(s), i.e. if the same workstation is used to run different logins (e.g. for different modules), different printers can be used.
Note about Local Printers: If the default printer is a local printer, the options you set for that printer are stored on the workstation as well. Many more user-configurable settings are available for local printers than for any other printer type (e.g. for a system printer). The options that you may choose are based on the capabilities of the printer. For example, if the printer cannot print in color, the Color button on the Appearance tab will not be available.
When you choose a local printer for the first time or change the printer via File » Select Printer, Millennium presents a dialog with four tabs:-
General: This tab allows you to select any of the local printers available to your workstation, the range of pages to print, and the number of copies to print.
-
Page Setup: This tab allows you to specify the paper size, direction of printing, and page margins. You can choose only those options that are supported by the printer.
-
Appearance. This tab allows you to specify special printer features, such as color printing and non-standard paper-handling, if the printer supports them.
-
Format. This tab allows you to specify text or graphic printing and page layout for each. The Text (narrow) option is for 40-column printing.
If the Last used on workstation option is selected, the choice of local printer and its settings are remembered when modified, and stored on the workstation where the change took place. Otherwise, if the Use login defaults option is selected, these options are not retained between sessions.
If staff wants to select another printer than the one that is currently used as the default on the workstation, they can do so from the File » Select Printer menu. Note that the printer that was last used during a session will be the default the next time someone logs in with the same login.
NOTE: Support for local printers and access to their capabilities is based on the workstation operating system's support for the particular printer(s) available to your workstation. This means that manufacturer-specific printer drivers must be installed on the workstation before Millennium can access the printers.
