Installing and sharing printers


The first step in creating a print server for your organization involves installing the print server feature, then installing printer ports and printer drivers, and finally creating printers.

Getting ready

In this recipe, you are going to set up a print server, PSRV, and then set up a TCP/IP printer for the Sales Group. This process involves installing the print server feature in Windows Server 2016. Then you create a port for a new printer and install the driver for the Sales Group group's new printer, an NEC Color MultiWriter. Finally, you create and then share the printer. Once complete, you can review what you have accomplished.

How to do it...

  1. Install the Print-Server feature on PSRV, along with the print management tools:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Print-Server,                                RSAT-Print-Services
  1. Add a PrinterPort for a new printer:
Add-PrinterPort -Name Sales_Color `       -PrinterHostAddress 10.10.10.61
  1. Add a PrinterDriver for this printer...
