printer.</p>

start typing <gui>Printers</gui>.</p>

<p>When choosing from the list of available printers, you can filter the
printer search results by specifying a name or location of the printer
(for example, <input>1st floor</input> or <input>entrance</input>).</p>
<p>The search results filtering is available only in the dialog for
adding new printers.</p>

used, unless you choose a different printer for that specific output.</p>
