Printing with Branch Office Direct Printing

An important new feature for branch offices in Windows Server 2012 is Branch Office Direct Printing, or BODP. BODP allows users to print directly to a print device instead of requiring that the print job traverse the WAN, which is a significant advantage for branch offices that do not have a local print server available. The following procedures describe the steps to set up the Print Server role on a Windows 2012 server, configure a print queue, configure a client to connect to the print queue, and enable BPOD for the print queue.
