How to display printer list in folder in Windows

In Windows OS, you can create a special folder that allows you to easily view the list of printers installed on your system.

By creating this folder, you can check the printer status and detailed information directly from your desktop.

How to create a special folder

The steps to create this special folder are as follows:

Right-click on the desktop: Right-click on the desktop and select “New”.

Create a folder: Select “Folder (F)” from the “New” menu to create a new folder.

Rename: Change the name of the newly created folder to “Printer List.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}”. Press Enter to confirm.

Icon changes: If the name is set correctly, the icon will automatically change to a printer mark.

Usage: Double-click this icon (shortcut) to display a list of all printers installed on your system. From here, you can manage and configure print jobs.

Advantages and usage

This special shortcut is particularly useful in the following situations:

Print job management: Easily find print jobs that are waiting or in error.

Check ink levels: Some printers allow you to check the ink levels (depending on the model).

Multiple printer management: If you have multiple printers, you can easily view the status of each one.

Summary

Shortcuts with special GUIDs (globally unique identifiers) like these can be very useful tools for Windows users.
