Server 2008 Lesson 11 - Print Server Role and Deploying Printers
In this lesson I install the Printer and Document Services Role on the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. This will allow the server to become a printer server that can share and deploy printers on the domain. I add a local printer and deploy it using Group Policy to all the computers and users in the domain. If you do not a mix of 32bit and 64bit operating systems on your domain you will need to install additional drivers for both types. Also I update the Group Policy settings on the client using the gpupdate command and verify the printer being deployed.
