Study Notes
Chapter 8: Configuring Print and Document Services
- The chapter covers configuring print and document services, deploying print servers, and using the print and document services role.
Overview
- Configure Print and Document Services
- Deploying a Print Server
- Using the Print and Document Services Role
Windows Print Architecture
- Print device: The physical hardware that produces hard copies.
- Printer: Software that allows a computer to communicate with a print device.
- Print server: A computer (or dedicated device) that manages print jobs from clients, sending them to printers connected locally or on the network.
- Printer driver: Software that converts application print jobs into commands understood by the specific print device.
Windows Printing
- Installation: To install a printer in Windows, select the printer model, choose the interface (e.g., port), and provide the appropriate printer driver.
Windows Printing Flexibility
- A single computer can manage all printing functions, or tasks can be distributed across a network.
- Four fundamental configurations exist: Direct printing, locally attached printer sharing, network-attached printing, and network-attached printer sharing.
Direct Printing
- A locally connected printer device.
Locally Attached Printer Sharing
- A locally attached printer is shared, allowing multiple computers to use it.
Network-Attached Printing
- A printer connected directly to the network. Multiple print servers can manage it.
Network-Attached Printer Sharing
- One shared print server manages a network-connected printer.
Sharing a Printer
- Hardware upgrades (memory, disk space) might be needed if heavy printer use is anticipated.
- A computer could be dedicated as a print server.
- Printers can often be shared during installation or at any time after.
- USB printers typically automatically install a driver upon connection.
- Network printers typically use an installation program to locate, install and configure.
Managing Printer Drivers
- Windows Server 2012 R2 drivers are often compatible with client workstations.
- Install drivers for 32-bit or 64-bit client machines or for older operating systems through the Additional Drivers window.
Configuring Printer Security
- Clients require the correct permissions for shared printers, similar to folder permissions.
- Shared printer permissions are simpler than NTFS permissions, allowing to manage printers, documents submitted to the printer, and the properties of the printer.
Assigning Printer Permissions
- Permissions are assigned in the Security tab of a printer's Properties sheet
- Typical permissions include control over individual printers, management of the printer, and handling documents.
Basic Printer Permissions
- Individuals or groups may have varying permissions. Default permissions may need to be adjusted as needed.
Managing Documents
- Users can print and manage their own documents by default.
- Allow Manage Documents permission grants user control over other user's documents.
- Managing documents involves pausing, resuming, restarting, and canceling tasks.
Managing Printers
- Configuration tasks include setting printer priorities, scheduling printer access, and creating printer pools. Printer priorities allow for some users' jobs to print before others. Multiple printers connected to the same print device by different time schedules for availability. A printer pool provides a single printer connected to multiple print devices to increase throughput and provide fault tolerance.
Using the Print Management Console
- A console for managing print servers and printers.
- Can add, view, manage, and filter printers.
Deploying Printers with Group Policy
- Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) simplifies deploying printers to numerous clients.
- Administrators can locate printers in the AD DS database by name, location, or model.
- Group Policy Objects (GPOs) can deploy printers to a domain, site, or organizational unit (OU).
Using Print Management
- The Print Management console is used to manage print settings, including printing filters and custom filters. Four default filters are available (all Printers, all Drivers, printers not ready, and printers with jobs).
