#### Assign hardware

In order to link one or more printers to a hardware item, users must edit an existing hardware record. To do that go to Devices and click on the device that you want to link the printer share to. Within the edit view, users will find a subcategory labeled **Printer Shares** that can be used to assign various printers to the hardware.
