Guest Cyborg Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I was wondering how I install a print server in Windows 2003? I have installed it through the "Configure youe server" but I thought it used IIS, but I haven't got this installed?
Guest Anthony Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Re: How do I install a Print Server Hi Cyborg, No need to install it. Basically when you set up and "share" a printer it becomes available for people to use, and the spooler service handles the printing. No IIS either, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com "Cyborg" <andrewwhite@btinternet.com> wrote in message news:303714D2-62FA-4D6E-98BA-4561C4F4E5A2@microsoft.com... >I was wondering how I install a print server in Windows 2003?

Guest Cyborg Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Re: How do I install a Print Server Somebody on another forum said (quite clever) he managed to create a Visio diagram of his office with printers located on it, users could then just select the printer they want in the drawing and install it. He said he got the links from the Print servers website? "Anthony" <anthony.spam@spammedout.com> wrote in message news:eplsJiF$HHA.5464@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi Cyborg, > No need to install it.

There's no print server website. Why not ask him exactly what he did? I've never heard of it. Sounds cool, if it's true, although I can't see why anyone wouldn't just centrally deploy their network printers rather than asking users to open Visio diagrams. > > "Anthony" <anthony.spam@spammedout.com> wrote in message > news:eplsJiF$HHA.5464@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Hi Cyborg, >> No need to install it.

Guest Cyborg Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Re: How do I install a Print Server I've just worked it out, install Internet printing, there is a connect button for all printers listed, take the source from the connect buttom and either email to the users or add to as a hyperlink to a Visio floor plan saved as a web site, I'm going to publish it on our intranet. By deafult i will install the printers by group policy, but remote users who come to our office can you locate the printer either through AD or via the florr plan. Also what spec should a print server be, I need to find details. We have 600 users, 40 printers. The server is a new Dell Intel 5130 2.0 GHZ, 2GB ram, RAID 1 server.

Why not just label printers with logical names so end users can figure out where they are, then print to either the one nearest them, or to what somebody else asks? We had hundreds of network printers and you could pretty much always tell where they were by their name. A printer names b1712-105-2P was located in building 1712, room 105, was the second printer in a clockwise rotation from the main entrance to the room, and the P indicated it was a printer. This was for an enterprise that spanned an entire campus, and never gave any users problems.
