Print Management from the Print Services Role
You can create printer shares
and manage the print server and print queue without installing the Print Services role. However,
this role includes many advanced options for managing a print server as well as additional ways
to share printers. When you install the Print Services role, you must install the Print Server role
service. It provides the Print Management snap-in, which can be used to manage multiple print-
ers and print servers. You can also migrate printers to and from other Windows print servers.
You have the option to install two other role services, too: LPD Service and Internet Printing.
The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Service role service allows UNIX/Linux computers using the Line
Printer Remote (LPR) service to print to Windows shared printers. Internet Printing creates a Web
site that allows managing print jobs through a Web browser and enables clients with Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP) installed to connect to printers and send print jobs to shared printers via the Internet.
After the Print Services role is installed, the Print Management MMC is available in Server
Manager and Administrative Tools. You use Print Management to view status information and
manage all printers and print servers on the network. By default, local print servers are available
in the console, and other print servers can be added to the console. Some tasks you can perform
with Print Management include the following:
•
Install a new printer
—Add new printers to any server on the network, not just the local server.
•
Share a printer
—Share an installed printer or change a shared printer's properties and
permissions.
•
Migrate printers
—Export printers from one server and import them to another. This fea-
ture makes it easy to consolidate print servers or move printers from a server that's been
taken out of service.
•
Deploy printers by using group policies
—Printer connections can be set up for users or
computers by using group policies, which makes it unnecessary to set up printers on sepa-
rate client workstations manually.
•
List or remove printers from Active Directory
—Publish printers in Active Directory or
remove published printers.
•
Display printers based on a filter
—On a network with dozens or hundreds of printers, you
can configure filters to display printers that meet certain criteria. Filters enable you to view
in a single window, for example, all printers that currently have jobs waiting or all printers
that are out of paper or toner. You can also set up notifications so that an e-mail is sent
when criteria are met.
