6 Print services
This chapter describes the print server role that is a part of the storage server running Windows Storage
Server 2003 R2.
NOTE:
The storage server and File Print Appliance (DL100 G2 model) only supports network attached printers
and does not support directly connected printers via USB or a parallel port.
Print servers and appliances are best suited where multiple network printers are scattered all over
locations and where high availability is not a major concern, but cost is. In such scenarios, a single
stand-alone print server with printers connected to the network should be suf fi cient to meet the
requirements. If the business needs high-performance printing, it can implement additional print servers,
such as a clustered print server environment. Multiple print servers provide redundancy so that if the
hardware on one server fails, the print queues can be moved to the other print server.

Microsoft Print Management Console
Print Management in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system is a Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) snap-on that system administrators can use to perform common print
management tasks in a large enterprise. It provides a single interface that administrators can use to
perform printer and print server management tasks ef fi ciently with detailed control. You can use Print
Management from any computer running Windows Server 2003 R2, and you can manage all network
printers on print servers running Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server
2003 R2.
