Best
Practices for Deploying Printer Location with Active
Directory
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 introduced a new feature
that allows clients to find printers that have been
published in the Microsoft Active Directory® service.
Windows Server 2003® Active Directory services continues
this location support for printers. To make it easy
for your users to take advantage of this feature and
locate printers based on their name, location, and
other criteria, you must create a consistent location
schema for your print organization. This white paper
outlines some best practices for creating and maintaining
a useful location schema for systems integrators,
administrators and architects who are planning, deploying,
or managing Windows print servers Print
Server Scalability and Sizing Technical Overview
Microsoft has made a number of enhancements to the
printing subsystem of the Microsoft® Windows® 2000
and the Windows Server 2003 family. Scalability and
capacity play key roles in the purchase and deployment
of Windows print servers. Although this paper does
not provide exact formulas for calculating maximum
loads, it does provide information that helps you
size a server to meet your organization’s needs.

Server Upgrade, Migration, and Interoperability
Microsoft has made a number of enhancements to the
printing subsystem of the Microsoft® Windows®
2000 and later operating systems. This paper provides
an overview of these new features and discusses details
about upgrading and migrating to Windows 2000 or Windows
Server 2003. In a network printing environment that
mixes the Windows NT® operating system
with other Windows platforms, interoperability issues
can arise. This paper describes various methods for
dealing with these issues for the systems integrators,
administrators, and architects who are planning, deploying,
or managing Windows print servers. Source: Microsoft

can have a substantial impact on the performance and
scalability of a print server. This paper provides
an overview of the new printer ports as well as a
brief discussion of the importance of client-server
connectivity. The paper is designed for systems integrators,
administrators, and architects who are planning, deploying,
or managing Windows print servers. Source: Microsoft
