part of an Active D irectory domain rather than Workgroup, the print server enables the following
management features:
• Restrict access to printer-based d omain user a ccounts.
• Publish shared printers to Active Directory to aid in search for the resource.
7. Deploy printers using group policy. Print management can be used with Group Policy to
automatically add printer connections to a server’s Printers and Faxes folder. Fo r more

8. Determine whether printer spooling be enabled. Two or more identical printers that are connected to
one print server can act as a s ingle printer. As a means to load-balance print queues when you
print a document, the print job is sent to the first available printer in the p ool. See “Setting Printer
Properties” in the Windows online help for additional information.
