Chapter 12. Managing Printers

Printers are one of an organization’s most complex management challenges. Because printers must be located physically near users, they’re impossible to centralize. Printers require almost constant maintenance because ink must be replaced, paper must be refilled, and hardware must be fixed.

Although printers will always be a challenge, Windows Server 2008 R2 provides sophisticated tools to improve manageability and to allow you to quickly detect problems. This chapter describes how to install, share, and manage printers.
