Deploying Print Servers

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

After your design team completes its work, the print server deployment team can implement the design for your new printing environment. Deploying print servers involves installing Windows Server 2003 on the servers, adding the servers to the network, and then adding the printers. Organizations that plan to deploy clustered print servers must take the additional step of configuring the clusters before creating the print spooler resource.

Figure 3.5 shows the tasks involved in deploying print servers.
