A useful command-line tool is also available in the form of the Print Backup Recovery Migration tool. The executable is named Printbrm. Scripts are available for configuring printer settings prncfg.
The scripts are executed using the cscript. For example:. Obviously, a print server without any printers isn't going to be of much use. Not surprisingly, therefore, the next step after installing Print Services is to add printers.
Printers may either be network based, or locally connected to the server. In the case of network printers, these may be added either manually or using auto-detection.
Under auto-detection, Print Management scans the subnet on which the server resides and searches for any devices it can identify as being printers. As printers are detected on the network they are displayed in a list where they may be selected and added to the print server.
This will display the Network Printer Installation Wizard as illustrated below:. In order to have the wizard search for printers on the network, ensure that the Search for network printers is selected and click on Next.
At this point the wizard will begin the process of scanning the network for printers. As each printer is detected it will be listed. In the following example, the wizard has detected an HP Deskjet printer on the network with an IP address of If no printers are detected, ensure that the printers are connected to the network and powered on and are on the same subnet as the print server.
Once the scan is complete, select the required printer from the list and click Next to proceed to the Printer Driver screen. If a driver for the printer is already installed, select it from the drop down list. Alternatively select the Install a new driver option and click Next to proceed to the Printer Installation screen where a list of printer manufacturers and models is presented. Select the make and model of the printer from the list:. If the make and model of printer are not listed, check to see if the printer was supplied with a driver disk, or whether a driver can be obtained from the manufacturer's web site.
Why can't a user with "Manage printers" see remote unshared printers in Print Management Console? Why can't a user with "Manage server" see remote unshared printers in Print Management Console? Notice the difference between A and B, C, D. The effect of security settings on the printer and print server, are increasing to the point of essentially "Full Control", yet only a Domain Administrator Local Administrator can remotely manage an unshared printer.
Is there a way around this limitation? The users that do not have an admin security token will not be able to enumerate any printer unless it is shared. Is there a security setting I can apply to existing unshared printers that will enable my non-administrator AD security group members to enumerate unshared printers? I am thinking about the setprinter. That is NOT the answer I was hoping for. Which means only the 2nd or 3rd level admins can do this. Not a very good response for this issue.
Those are configured to specifications dictated by the application software vendor. Also more shares on the network could confuse end users who shouldn't be sending output to those application servers. There isn't a share permissions property sheet for printers apparently.
The current documentation for Printer Management Console could add this fact and save others time and hassle. An enhancement for future consideration would allow non-administrators to enumerate and manage documents or manage printers on non-shared printers.
Printer shares should have customizable security permissions - e. This seems like a security backdoor or security hole and quite important. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Learn More.
