Subtitles of the Movie (Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (70-290) / Managing Printing / Printers Overview)
On our way tour will be coming a people of society which seem to be printing more and more and we need to understand as network administrator how to manage printers because hard copy is often times what is looked at it means hard copy is essential in businesses and being able to get that information out and right people being able to get what they need very fast is essential. So in this chapter we are going to talk about managing printing and in particular we are going to talk about installing printers. Printers are software most people think printers are hardware but as Microsoft defines printers, printers are software printers are the drivers that drive the print device. That print device is the hardware. We will talk about installing printers installing software into the system to connect to the print device and then we will talk about printer permissions. Some people can have permissions to manage the print device but not have permission to manage the printer itself and the other people just have information to send print job to the printer and go get there output and we will talk about how printer information are used and managing printers. Then we will talk about the printer drivers themselves how to install the drivers how update the drivers and some best practices in regards to the drivers. We will talk about printer locations. One of the good things active directories that we can define where every thing is in the active directory everything is totally definable even it is in other domain so we can for example find a printer in another city. So are on a LAN and want to print something to a printer in San Francisco. If the administrator has set it up properly we can search printers in San Francisco and find one on the third floor in room 308 and print directly to that printer. But printer locations have to be set up and have to be tide up to the subnet and we talk more about printer location work. The print spooler is the place where the print job goes to wait its turn to be printed and it depends on how many jobs are ahead of it. It depends on how those jobs are prioritized, it depends on whether those jobs are allowed to go at that time of day with print spooler is where they go to wait. Some times they can ride over the print spooler other times printers other times they have to wait. We will talk about printer priorities how do we set the same print device so that, one group of people get instant access to it who are close to it and other group of people have to wait there turn. So in other words how can we prioritize the printer so that it can be used for the same print device and different people get different results based on groups of which they are member? And we will talk about printer pools. Printer pools are kind of the opposite idea of printer priority. With printer pools we have one printer one software and we have multiple print devices that it can go to and printer pools are used when we have say large clerical group that is printing all the time, and they always need to be able to go to get a hardcopy, they won't be waiting behind somebody else. So we have multiple devices for that could come out and they can go get their hard copy speeds up the process of producing the hard copy. Then we can also schedule printers. What if we have a print device, some time prints documents 500 pages long but other times print documents are just one page memo, but ones that is 500 pages long really don't need to be printed right now actually it is for a meeting that is going to be a couple of days from now, a week from now, they do need to be printed at some point but don't need to be print right now. How do we make it to where, when people print those very large documents this don't tie up the printer for the rest of the day. Wouldn't it nice if those things could start in the midnight? Well they can. We can same print device but different printers and based on the printer that is used that determines, when the document is actually able to be spooled and when that document actually starts to come out of the print device that would frees up the print device so you can see there is lot more to printing that immediately meets the eye, and it all starts with installing a printer so in our next section we will talk about installing printers. That is next.
