Windows server 2003 Printer Tutorial

Printer---software device

Printer device—hardware device

Local printer: attached directly to a computer

Network printer: connected to a HUB or switch

The print drivers are installed on a print server and are shared.

Printer priority: 99 highest, ex: if we have 2 printers make the priority for one printer as 10 and the other one 5. So the higher priority will print first, same for the print schedule

Separator page: Create a separator page and which separates bundle of pages, ex: when you want to print 100 pages, but 50/50 should be separated, so once 50 pages are printed out, you will receive a separator page.

We can open the print server using a web browser, but, u need to have IIS installed. On the print server

 From the client machine, http: // izone/printer

When we configure a local printer we can select ports as LPT1 etc, but, when we need to configure a network printer then we need to add tcp/ip port

Group policy—computer settings—printer settings—pre-populate printers in AD

When every any user search for printer they are already pre-populated in AD

Lost and found folder in AD users and computers:

Suppose we have a 2 domain controllers, if an admin makes changes to one object and if another admin also makes changes to the same object at same time, these changes are stored in the LOST and Found folder.

Administrative shared created by default are:

C$

Admin$

Print$

When we create a share we need to provide it with a $ sign, ex: we share a document named as group policy grouppolicy$, so this folder becomes a hidden share, to access this folder go to run prompt and type grouppolicy$
