- WINDOWS 2000 SERVER- SIMPLIFY PRINTER MANAGEMENT WITH PASS-THROUGH SHARING
Windows 2000 Server, like Windows NT before it, makes it easy to share printers. You only need to add the print driver, share the printer, and set a few security options. What you might not realize, however, is that Windows 2000 supports pass-through sharing, which enables you to share a printer that isn't connected to a Windows 2000 server. Pass-through sharing simplifies printer management by enabling you to use a Windows 2000 server as a point of access for a printer that might otherwise require special software. For example, some client platforms don't directly support HP JetDirect technology, but you could connect to the printer from a Windows 2000 server and share that print driver on the network for access by other users. It's not difficult to set up pass-through printing. On the Windows 2000 server, install the software needed to access the printer. After testing the printer from the server, share the printer on the server. Clients on the network can then connect to your Windows 2000 server to access the printer. Note: Remember to install additional print drivers on the server as needed to support the clients on the network.
- TIP: CREATE A LOCAL PRINT QUEUE
( contributed by John Savill, http://www.windows2000faq.com )
- Q. How can I create a local print queue so that I can configure default settings on a network print queue?
- A. If you connect directly to a network print queue, you can't set defaults for items such as duplex printing. To work around this limitation, you can create a local device that points to the network printer, then create a local print queue by performing the following steps:
1. From a command prompt, type
NET USE LPT1: \\<printer server>\<printer> /persistent:yes
to map the local LPT device to the network printer.
2. Add a local printer in the usual way (go to Start, Settings, Printers, and click Add Printer).
3. Specify a local device (LPT1), and configure the new printer.
- Windows7 & WindowsXP
- Printer attached to Windows7 PC.
- Can't get WindowsXP PC to print (peer-to-peer using either wired or wireless connection) on Windows7 PC's printer.
- Windows XP PC can see the Windows7 PC and the shared printer on the LAN, but can't use it because it needs a driver that is not available anywhere.
- This is really easy if both PCs are Windows7, but impossible if one PC is using Windows XP.
- Printer properties > Additional Drivers ("If this printer is shared with users running different versions of Windows, you may want to install additional drivers, so that the users do not have to find the print driver when they connect to the shared printer") > "You can install additional drivers so that users on the fillowing systems can download them automatically when they connect." (x64 and x86 Type 3 - User Mode) > Error message "Selected printer driver not found - the specified location does not contain the driver xxxxxx for the requested processor architecture."
- It seems reasonable to do this, but it is impossible to do it.
