2. Agenda • Chapter 7: Configuring Print Services • Exercise • Lab • Quiz

3. Windows Print Architecture • Print Device • The actual hardware • Printer • The software interface through which a computer communicates with a print device • Print server • A computer (or standalone device) that receives print jobs from clients and sends them to print devices • Printer driver • A device driver that converts the print jobs generated by applications into an appropriate string of commands for a specific print device

4. Printer Formats • The printer driver creates a job file using one of two interim formats, as follows: • Enhanced Metafile (EMF) • A standardized, highly portable print job format • The printer driver converts data into an EMF file, and the printer sends it to the print server, which stores it in the spooler • The spooler then uses the printer driver on the print server to render the job into the final PCL format • XML Paper Specification (XPS) • A new, platform-independent document format • Print job files use a single XPS format for their entire journey to the print device

5. Network Sharing and Discovery • You must enable the appropriate settings in the Network and Sharing Center • To share printers, the following Network Sharing and Discovery settings must be turned on: • Network Discovery • Printer Sharing

6. Printer Sharing • Standard sharing • You can add additional drivers for another OS • See Figure 7-6 and 7-7 on Page 159

7. Standard Printer Permission • Print • Can connect/print/pause/cancel its own print • Manage Printers • Can cancel all documents/share a printer • Manage Documents • Can pause/resume/restart all documents • See Table 7-1 on Page 161

8. Printer Priorities / Scheduling • To give certain users in your organization priority access to a print device • You must create multiple printers • Associate them with the same print device • Modify their priorities / Configure their scheduling • See Figure 7-11 on Page 163

9. Printer Pool • At least two identical print devices, or at least print devices that use the same printer driver • The print devices must be in the same location • Connect all of the print devices in the pool to the same print server • If the print server is a Windows Server 2008 computer, you can connect the print devices to any viable ports

10. Print Services Role • Provides features that would help you • Print Server • Share/control all printers • LDP Service • Enables UNIX clients to print on windows printers • Internet Printing • Create a website that enables users on the internet to print

11. Print Management Console • Consolidates the controls for the printing components throughout the enterprise into a single console • Custom Filters • Showed based on your filter • Print Servers • Show all the print servers that you have added to console • Deployed Printers • List all the printers you have deployed with GP

12. Deploying Printers with Group Policy • Clients running earlier versions of Windows, such as XP and Win 2003, do not support automatic policy-based printer deployments • To enable the GPO to deploy printers on old computers, you must configure the systems to run a utility called Push-Printer Connections.exe • Configure the same GPO you used for the printer deployment to run the program from a user logon script or machine script

13. Assignment • Summarize the chapter in your own word • At least 75 words • Due BEFOREclass start on Thursday • Lab 7 • Due BEFORE class start on Monday
