Planning considerations for print services
Before con fi guring the print server or File Print Appliance, the following checklist of items should be
followed:
1. Determine the operating system version of the clients that will send jobs to this printer . This
information is used to select the correct client printer drivers for the client and server computers using
the printer. Enabling this role on the print server allows the automatic distribution of these drivers to
the clients. Additionally, the set of client operating systems determines which of these drivers need to
be installed on the server during the print server role installation.
2. At the printer, print a con fi guration or test page that includes manufacturer, model, language, and
installed options . This information is needed to choose the correct printer driver. The manufacturer
and model are usually enough to uniquely identify the printer and its language. However, some
printers support multiple languages, and the con fi guration printout usually lists them. Also, the
con fi guration printout often lists installed options, such as extra memory, paper trays, envelope
feeders, and duplex units.
3. Choose a printer name . Users running Windows-based client computers choose a printer by using
the printer name. The wizard that you will use to con fi gure your print server provides a default
name, consisting of the printer manufacturer and model. The printer name is usually fewer than 31
characters in length.
4. Choose a share name . A user can connect to a shared printer by entering this name, or by selecting
it from a list of share names. The share name is usually fewer than 8 characters for compatibility with
MS-DOS and Windows 3.x clients.
5. (Optional) Choose a location description and a comment . These can help identify the location of
the printer and provide additional information. For example, the location could be “Second fl oor,
copy room” and the comment could be “Additional toner cartridges are available in the supply
room on fl oor 1."
