Click the Start button and the scanning process begins, and once the subnet has been scanned the information gathered will be processed, printer drivers will be installed, print queues will be created, and the printers will be shared. The only time you might have to manually intervene is to provide a driver for a printer if Windows doesn't have one for that particular brand of printer. Alternatively, let's say you already have your network printers set up and installed, as I do, and that there are two other Windows Server machines currently functioning as print servers, namely BOX and BOX Let's add BOX to the list of print servers and see what happens.
Figure 5: Adding a print server to Print Management. Figure 6: BOX is added to the list of print servers. By right-clicking on any of these printers you can perform tasks such as the following:. There's also an option to deploy printers using Group Policy, but we'll cover that one in a future article. Let's go ahead and add BOX as a print server to make the next topic more interesting:. Figure 7: Three print servers listed in Print Management.
Say you want to get a quick picture of what's happening with different printers on your network. For example, say you want to know which printers currently have jobs in their print queues. Using the Print Filters feature of Print Management, this is easy—a lot easier than browsing all the print queues of all your network printers!
Figure 8: Using the default printer filter named Printers With Jobs. Note that both Accounting Printer 1 and Sales Printer 2 have one job in their queue, and that the Accounting printer is ready but the Sales printer is in an error state. Opening the printer queue for the Sales printer lets you see the details of what's in the queue:.
Figure 9: Test page is stuck in the queue for Sales Printer 2. Thanks for post here. Mr x may provided a good article that would answer your question.
Meanwhile, the Print Spooler service is the center of the Windows printing subsystem, I had list the required protocol and ports of this service below for you reference :. System service name: Spooler. Application protocol. This service has the same firewall requirements as those of the " File and Printer Sharing " feature.
Service overview and network port requirements for the Windows Server system. It is a member of the domain, though. Call this "PC 1". So what do I try next? Improve this question. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Dump the "shared printer" and make the printer a local printer on the Terminal Server computer. Edit: Sadly, some printer drivers are not amenable to this technique. Improve this answer.

If staff want to walk all the way over there, they can :P But I'll try this out. I took your phrase "I want a particular user to be able to print Ah, I see. What I meant was that I would be satisfied with an answer if it had to be done per-user, OR if it worked for all users.
If that makes sense. Alas, I cannot select the driver for the printer when I get past the port configuration dialog. It's a Canon MP Printer, which in fact is already installed as a shared printer on the machine, but neither that nor the HP JetDirect the driver is are listed. I missed that step! In the "Port Configuration" dialog you're going to choose a "Generic" type.
