Click the "OK" button on this info window.

  1. Since we clicked the "Apply" button the "ShipStreamPrinter Properties" widow is still open, and now we want to go the the "General" tab.  In the "General" tab click on "Stop", there will be a progress bar.  When "Stop" is done click on "Start", there will be another progress bar.
