In-Depth Information
Note that when you create and share a printer this way, an Active Directory Printer
object is not displayed within the Active Directory Users and Computers tool.
Configuring Printers
The printer has now been installed and published to Active Directory. It's time to set all of
the different configuration options. To get to the options, right-click the Printer object and
choose Properties.
The following are just some of the tabs you can configure:
The General Tab
The General tab (see Figure 4.9) allows you to set some basic printer
attributes.
■
The field at the top of the dialog box contains the display name of the Printer
object.
■
The Location field should contain text that helps users physically locate the
printer. This allows users to search for printers based on location (location-aware
printing).
■
The Comment field allows an administrator to put in any additional information,
such as the printer type.
■
The Printing Preferences button takes you to controls that allow you to change the
layout and paper type of the printer.
