 Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 12:31 am Post subject: Network Printer Question |
 |
|
I am new to windows server systems and reading all the books I can get
my hands on But I am unclear on how the server controls access to a
printer that has its own ip and is a network device of its own how do i
restict access to that printer. Any pointers or books you can recomend
would be great.
Thanks

How to Setup an IP Mapped Printer Port
Using an IP addressed mapped printer port is useful if you do not have
access in the network to the local Windows print server, ie you are not part
of the local domain. Typically this is the case if you are visiting a remote
office that do not use the same Windows AD domain as you do in your home
office.
To use the IP printer setup you must know the IP number of the printer in
question, know the printer model and have the printer driver installed on
your local PC.
From start menu of from the Control Panel, open the printers and Faxes
setup:
Select Add Printer:
The printer wizard starts:
Install a local printer (it will be "locally" connected via a TCP/IP port)
Select, next > and create a new TCP/IP port
The add TCP/IP port wizard starts
Click Next > and enter IP address of the printer
The wizard will finish and automatically select the new port and ask which
printer driver
should be installed on the port. Select the correct printer and driver (if
an exact driver is
not found a driver from the general series works well enough).
If you have used the driver before, you can keep the existing driver and not
install a new one:
Give the new printer a name:
Share the printer from your server.
Printing a test page is optional:
Click finish and you are done!
Then the client PC's attach to the printer
The server permissions then dictate who can access this "share" in the same
way as folder permissions.
