Lesson 1: Managing Printers

Windows Server 2008 R2 includes the Print And Document Services server role, which adds the Print Management snap-in to provide sophisticated printer management capabilities. There are also a variety of command-line tools for scripting print management tasks and managing computers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core. Although you can still use Control Panel to install, share, and manage printers, the Print Management snap-in provides a more full-featured user interface. This lesson describes how to use Control Panel, the Print Management snap-in, and command-line tools to manage printers.
