03/07/16

Learning Objectives (contd.)


Understand how Windows Server 2008 printing
works
Install local and shared printers
Configure printer properties
Configure a nonlocal or Internet printer
Manage print jobs
Use the Print Management tool

An Overview of Windows Server 2008


Printing
Clients can print on local print devices or network
print devices
Network print client
Workstation or application that generates the print job

Network print server


Computer or print server device offering the printer
share

An Overview of Windows Server 2008


Printing (contd.)
Print job
Document or items to be printed

Shared network printer device


Object that is made available to network users for
print services

Spooling
Frees the server CPU to handle other processing
requests in addition to print requests

Printer driver
Provides the formatting instructions for a given printer
4

How Network Printing Works


Software application at client generates a print file
Application communicates with the Windows
graphics device interface (GDI)
Print file formatted with control codes to implement
the special graphics, font, and color characteristics
of the file
Software application places print file in clients
spooler by writing spool file to spooling subfolder
Remote print provider makes a remote procedure
call to network print server
5

How Network Printing Works (contd.)


Network print server uses four processes to receive
and process a print file:
Router, print provider, print processor, and print
monitor

Server service calls Print Spooler service


Print provider works with print processor to ensure
that file is formatted to use right data type
Print monitor pulls file from spoolers disk storage
and sends it to printer

How Network Printing Works (contd.)


Print Spooler Service

Figure 6-1 Viewing the


description of the Print Spooler
service

How Internet Printing Works


Internet Information Services (IIS) must be installed
and running in Windows Server 2008
Client must connect to the Windows Server 2008 IIS
using a Web browser
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
Encapsulates the remote procedure call and print
process information and is transported in HTTP

Using the Printers Window


Enhanced from previous versions to enable more
versatility
