THE WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PRINTER
MODEL
 Locally attached printers Printers that are
connected to a physical port on a print server, such
as a USB or parallel port
 Network-attached printers Connected directly to the
network

MONITORING PRINTERS
 Monitoring print queues
 Redirecting print jobs
 Using the Performance Console
 Using Event Viewer
 Auditing printer access

REDIRECTING PRINT JOBS
 Reduces the impact of a failed printer
 Enables users to continue printing without
reconfiguration
 Destination printer must use the same driver type
as the original

TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTERS
Troubleshooting procedures can include one or more
of the following:
 The application that is attempting to print
 The logical printer on the computer on which the
application is running
 The network connection between the client and the
logical printer on the server
 The logical printer on the server (spooler, drivers,
security settings, and so forth)
Chapter 10: WORKING WITH PRINTERS
TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTERS (continued)
 The connection between the print server and the
printer
 The printer itself—its hardware, configuration, and
status
27
Chapter 10: WORKING WITH PRINTERS
IDENTIFY THE SCOPE OF FAILURE
 Determine if failure is confined to a single
application
 Determine if failure is confined to a single
workstation
 Determine if failure is confined to a single user
account
 Determine if failure is confined to a single print
device
 Determine if failure is confined to a single print
server
28
Chapter 10: WORKING WITH PRINTERS
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
 Verify that the print client can connect to the print
server
 Verify that the printer is operational
 Verify that the printer can be accessed from the
print server
 Verify that the print server’s services are running

SUMMARY
 The printing architecture in Windows Server 2003 is
modular, consisting of the physical printer, a print
server with a shared, logical printer connected to the
physical printer through a local or network port, and
a logical printer on a client that connects to the
shared, logical printer on the print server.
 A local printer is one that supports a printer directly
attached to the computer or attached to the
network.
 Shared printers are published to Active Directory.
 The Add Printer Wizard is used to add a logical
printer.
Chapter 10: WORKING WITH PRINTERS
31
SUMMARY (continued)
 A single logical printer can direct jobs to more than
one port, creating a printer pool.
 A single physical printer can be served by multiple
logical printers, each of which can be configured
with unique properties, drivers, settings, or
monitoring characteristics.
 The print queue window, event logs, and
performance counters enable you to monitor
printers for potential signals of trouble and for
utilization statistics.

SUMMARY (continued)
 Print jobs can be redirected to another printer.
 Because the Windows Server 2003 printer model is
modular, you can easily troubleshoot each
component link separately.
