Understanding the Print Management Console

Print Management is a snap-in for the MMC that administrators can use to manage multiple printers and print servers on a network. Using the Print Management console, an administrator can manage hundreds of print servers and thousands of print queues on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.

The Print Management console is designed as a general systems-management tool for administering print servers and print queues. For Help desk scenarios or printer-specific troubleshooting, however, enterprises might need to use vendor-supplied tools from printer manufacturers.
