Chapter Objectives
• Discuss the process of installing a network printer for sharing
• Describe the management of document printing
• Provide information on printer management
• Explain the concept of a logical printer and its configuration
• Illustrate the creation of different logical printer configurations
Chapter Modules
• Installing a Networked Printer for Sharing• Managing Document Printing• Printer Management Features• Logical Printer Configurations• Many-to-one: Creating Multiple Logical
Printers for One Physical Printer• One-to-many: Creating One Logical
Printer for Multiple Physical Printers
Sharing a Printer: A Preview
• Install the printer as a networked printer– There are alternative methods available for
the installation of a network printer– One of the methods will be demonstrated
• Share the printer as a logical printer installed locally– Example: Assigning the network printer as
the default printer
Module Objectives
• Case example for sharing a printer• Installing a printer for sharing
– Steps and demonstration
• Notes on the installed networked printer• Designating a network printer as the
default printer– Steps– Demonstration

Notes on the Installed Network Printer
• Printer Icon with a networked connection on the Explorer window Appears for all the network printers linked to the client
• A network printer can easily be designated as a default printer and removed from being the default printer

– Paper size, source, orientation etc.• Advanced
– Graphic resolution, halftone color adjustments etc.

• Pause Printing pauses the printer• The printer can be set to be the default

printer properties window• Document Defaults enable the
document printing features to be set
A Note on Document Defaults
• Required for mostly non-Windows programs that send documents for printing
• In a Windows based application such as Word, the document settings are defined within the application
• Document settings– Paper size, source, orientation etc.– Graphics resolution– Others
Module Objectives
• The concept of logical printers• Logical printers to physical printers
relationship
Logical Printers
• Logical printers are created in the print server to service document printing
• Each logical printer may have a predefined set of characteristics– One logical printer may be available only
during a certain period– Another logical printer may have a
higher priority
Possible Logical Printer to Physical Printer
Relationships
• One-to-one– One logical printer created for one
physical printer• One-to-many• Many-to-one• Many-to-many• Many-to-one and One-to-many
would be examined as case examples

MODULE
Many-to-One: Creating Multiple Logical Printers for One Physical
Printer
Module Objectives
• Many-to-one configuration• Creation of multiple logical printers
– Overview and demonstration
• Case example of multiple logical printers• The first logical printer
– Configuration, scheduling and security and demonstration
• The second logical printer– Configuration, scheduling and security and
demonstration
Creation of Multiple Logical Printers
• Create the first logical printer by following the steps outlined under the creation of a logical printer
• Repeat the same procedure– Specify the same port (LPT1:)– Specify the same printer (HP LaserJet
III)
The Use of Multiple Logical Printers: Case Example
• Create two logical printers• Assign the first logical printer a
higher priority and limit the access to Inspectors
• Assign the second logical printer a lower priority and provide Everyone with general access to the printer
Configuring First Logical Printer

MODULE
One-to-Many: Creating One Logical Printer for Multiple Physical Printers
Module Objectives
• One-to-many configuration• Creation of one logical printer for
two physical printers– Overview, case example, steps, notes
on the case example and demonstration
• Summary
Creation of One Logical Printer for Two Physical
Printers
• Create the first logical printer, for example, on port LPT1:
• Create a second logical printer, for example, on Port LPT2:
• Add the the second printer connected to the print server to the first logical printer
• In this case, the first logical printer will now be linked to two physical printers
Creation of One Logical Printer for Two Physical Printers: Case
Example
• Consider the case where two physical printers are attached to the print server US
• One is a HP LaserJet III attached to the port LPT1:
• The other is a HP LaserJet 4 attached to the port LPT2:
• Create a logical printer linked to both physical printers
Creation of One Logical Printer for Two Physical
Printers: Steps
Create the first logical printer as HPIII/4(LaserJet III) attached to LPT1:
Create the second logical printer as HP4(LaserJet 5) attached to LPT2:

Printer

Select LPT2: Finish
Notes on the Case Example
• Two physical printers, a HP III and a HP 4, are now connected to the logical printer HP III/4 through ports LPT1: and LPT2: respectively
• The print jobs will be sent to the first available printer among the two printers
Summary
• Sharing involves placing and then accessing the resource for sharing
• Sharing process is somewhat different for soft and hard resources
• Directory is an example of a soft resource
• Printer is an example of a hard resource
