Best practices
The following is practical advice for managing print devices:
•
Printers and print servers should be published in Active Directory.
•
Locate printers in common areas, such as near conference rooms.
•
Protect print servers using antivirus software.
•
Ensure the print server is included in the backup con
fi
guration.
•
Use Microsoft Printer Migrator to back up a print server con
fi
guration and restore settings on a
new print server. This eliminates the need to manually re-create print queues and printer ports,
install drivers, and change the IP con
fi
guration.
•
Use Microsoft Printer Migrator to backup new printers con
fi
gured on the print server.
•
Use Microsoft Printer Migrator when migrating to new print servers.
•
Perform a full backup of the print server, including the state information, before releasing the
system to the users in the production environment.
•
Whenever a new con
fi
guration is made or existing con
fi
guration is modi
fi
ed, a backup should
be performed.
•
To optimize performance, move the print spooler to another disk, separate from the disk
supporting the operating system. To move the print spooler to another disk:
• Start Printer and Faxes.
• On the File menu, click
Server Properties
, and then click the
Advanced
tab.
• In the Spool folder window, enter the path and the name of the new default spool folder for
the print server and then click
Apply
or
OK
.
• Stop and restart the spooler service, or restart the print server.
