Accept the default name of the printer or provide a different name, and then click Next. Click the Share as option, type the share name, and then click Next. You may provide the location of the printer and a comment to make it easier to locate. Your printer appears in the Printers and Faxes folder. The only difference between the manual installation of the print server and the use of the Configure Your Server Wizard to create the print server is how you start the Add Printer Wizard.

Please can someone advise me how to install it so that it is still installed after restarting the XP PC's Thanks. Monday, May 7, AM. Hi, Thank you for your question. I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Best Regards, Frank Please remember to mark the replies as an answers if they help. Tuesday, May 8, AM. Hi If you are using some application to wipe the state of the machine on each reboot, then you can stop using that software or add the software for the printer after each reboot. Alan Morris formerly with Windows Printing Team. If the printer is shared, its printing defaults become the default properties for all printers connected from clients to the shared printer.
The Printing Preferences dialog box configures the user-specific, personal preferences for a printer. Any settings in the Printing Preferences dialog box override printing defaults. The Properties dialog box that can be accessed by clicking Properties in a Print dialog box configures the properties for the specific job that is printed. Those properties will override both printing defaults and printing preferences.
This triad of print job property sets allows administrators to configure a printer centrally, by setting printing defaults on the shared logical printer, and allows flexibility and decentralized configuration by users or on a document-by-document basis. Such a configuration is not appropriate for normal, day-to-day printers. However a schedule is invaluable for situations in which users are printing large jobs, and you want those jobs to print after hours, or during periods of low use.
When you set up a printer pool, place the print devices in the same physical location so that users can easily locate their documents. When users print to a printer pool, there is no way to know which individual printer actually printed the job. A printer pool is one logical printer that supports multiple physical printers, either attached to the server, attached to the network, or a combination thereof. To set up printer pooling, select the Enable Printer Pooling check box, and then select or add the ports containing print devices that will be part of the pool.
Figure 4 shows a printer pool connected to three network-attached printers. Although a printer pool is a single logical printer that supports multiple ports, or printers, the reverse structure is more common and more powerful: multiple logical printers supporting a single port, or printer.
By creating more than one logical printer directing jobs to the same physical printer, you can configure different properties, printing defaults, security settings, auditing, and monitoring for each logical printer. For example, you might want to allow executives at Contoso Ltd. To do so, you can create a second logical printer directing to the same port the same physical printer as the other users, but with a higher priority.
Use the Add Printer Wizard to generate an additional logical printer. To achieve a multiple logical printer-single port structure, additional printers use the same port as an existing logical printer. The printer name and share name are unique. After the new printer has been added, open its properties and configure the drivers, ACL, printing defaults, and other settings of the new logical printer. To configure high priority for the new logical printer, click the Advanced tab and set the priority, in the range of 1 lowest to 99 highest.
However, when the printer is free, it will accept jobs from the higher-priority printer before accepting jobs from the lower-priority printer. The print subsystem of Windows Server is tightly integrated with Active Directory, making it easy for users and administrators to search for and connect to printers throughout an enterprise.
All required interaction between printers and Active Directory is configured, by default, to work without administrative intervention. You only need to make changes if the default behavior is not acceptable. When a logical printer is added to a Windows Server print server, the printer is automatically published to Active Directory.
The print server creates a printQueue object and populates its properties based on the driver and settings of the logical printer. The printer objects are not easy to find in Active Directory Users and Computers.
The object can be moved to any OU. All the configuration information is sent again to the Active Directory store even if some of it has remained unchanged. Creation and updating of printer objects happens relatively quickly, but objects and attributes must be replicated before they affect the results of a Find Printers operation from a client.
Replication latency depends on the size of your enterprise, and your replication topology. If a print server disappears from the network, its printer object is removed from the Active Directory. The printer Pruner service confirms the existence of shared printers represented in Active Directory by contacting the shared printer every eight hours. A printer object will be pruned if the service is unable to contact the printer two times in a row.
This might occur if a print server is taken offline. It will happen regularly if printers are shared on Windows or Windows XP workstations that are shut off overnight or on weekends. However, a print server will recreate the printer objects for its printers when the machine starts, or when the spooler service is restarted. So, again, administrative intervention is not required.
Printers that are added by using the Add Printer Wizard are published by default. The Add Printer Wizard does not allow you to prevent the printer from being published to the Active Directory service when you install or add a printer. A printer connected to a local port is likely to be detected and installed automatically by Plug And Play. In this case, you must share and publish the printer manually using the Sharing tab.
Simply right-click the OU or other container in which you want to create the printer and choose New Printer. You should add only printer objects that map to printers on pre-Windows computers. Do not add printer objects for printers on computers running Windows or later; allow those printers to publish themselves automatically.
All the default system behaviors described above can be modified using local or group policy.
