Task 2: Assess Special Printing Needs

It is important to know about any special circumstances that exist in the Print Services infrastructure. Special requirements may affect the architectural design in the following ways:

  • Requirements for secure printing may need to be met by printers that are directly attached to specific workstations, rather than to the Print Services infrastructure.

  • Requirements for fault tolerance may necessitate the design of printer pools, or even duplicate print locations.

  • Requirements for encryption may limit the network segments over which print streams can flow.

For each server listed in the Print Server Inventory Job Aid located in the Appendix, record any special requirements.
