Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Setup / May 2005Alternative beside Clustering
We have installed ALL printers on server1 & server2 and shared. Client connected using share name to the printer. We would like another server (Server3) to be a print server ONLy, so that if server1 or server2 is out of service, then, Server3 will handle the printing, transparent to the users. Users no need to add the printer again. Is there a better way to do this beside using clustering ? All servers are using Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Regards Brian Direct printing eliminates Windows print servers and shares and a printer itself becomes a single point of failure. Yes, But we have thousand of users using so many printers in different floors. That's why we setup a print server. Regards Brian Certainly lookup and connect the shared printers in AD is easier. Shared printer publish in AD also hook up on a print server. That's exactly what I meant: the difference between shared and networked printers setup. |
