Instalasi Print Server 2003

Seperti halnya file, printer juga bisa dimanfaatkan secara bersamaan oleh semua komputer yang terhubung ke jaringan LAN. Namun tentu saja selain harus diinstalasi di Server di komputer Client pun harus Anda diinstalasi
1. Instalasi Printer di Server

Agar printer di Server bisa diinstalasi di Client tentu Anda harus menginstalnya terlebih dahulu di Server. Setelah itu baru Anda menginstalasi printer yang ada di server di masing-masing Client. Mengenai instalasi printer di client akan dijelaskan nanti setelah ini.

Ada beberapa cara yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk menginstalasi printer di komputer server ini. Namun demikian Anda bisa mengambil salah satu yang menurut Anda paling mudah. Untuk jelasnya berikut prosedur instalasi printer di Server yang umum dilakukan.

• Klik Start
• Klik Programs
• Klik Administrative Tools
• Klik Manage Your Server
• Klik Add Printer. Setelah itu akan tampil jendela awal Add Printer Wizard
• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan
• Klik Local Printer Attached to this computer dan klik Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play Printer jika Anda sudah memasang printer dan dalam keadaan ON di komputer Server tersebut
• Jika Anda belum memiliki printer klik Local Printer saja, kemudian klik lagi Next. Kemudian ikuti semua petunujuk yang ditampilkan program
• Kemudian Anda klik Next dan tentukan port yang digunakan.

• Klik Use the following port
• Klik LPT1
• Klik Next. Setelah itu akan tampil kotak dialog Add Printer Wizard
• Klik salah satu merk printer di kolom bawah Manufactures, misalnya HP
• Klik salah satu jenis printer di bawah kolom Printers, misalnya HP LaserJet 5P
• Masukkan master Windows 2003 Server ke CD-ROM drive
• Klik Next, kemudian akan tampil kotak dialog Name your Printer
• Klik Yes
• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan. Setelah itu akan tampil kotak dialog yang menanyakan kepada Anda apakah printer tersebut akan di Sharing atau tidak
• Jika akan di Sharing klik Share As, lalu ketikkan nama printernya, misalnya LaserJet 5P di kolom Share name tersebut
• Klik Next
• Ketikkan lokasi printer tersebut, misalnya Server di kolom Location
• Ketikkan komentar untuk printer tersebut di kolom Comment, misalnya Gunakan Printer ini dengan baik dan benar.
• Klik Next
• Ketika tampil pernyataan Do you want to print a test page? Anda klik Yes apabila Anda akan mencoba printer tersebut dan No jika tidak. Apabila Anda belum memiliki printer jawab No saja.
• Klik Next. Setelah itu akan tampil kotak dialog Completing the Add Printer Wizard
• Klik Finish untuk mengakhiri pekerjaan Anda. Biarkan program bekerja dan apabila tidak terjadi kesalahan akan tampil printer baru di jendela Add Printer

2. Instalasi Printer di Client

Untuk menambah jumlah atau printer baru ke jaringan sehingga bisa dimanfaatkan oleh semua pemakai komputer dalam jaringan, maka printer tersebut harus di Sharing. Prosedur pembuatannya sama seperti yang telah saya jelaskan di atas. Hanya printer tersebut belum bisa digunakan dari Workstation atau client. Untuk itu Anda harus menginstalasinya dari masing-masing Workstation atau Client.

Prosedur yang harus Anda lakukan adalah sebagai berikut:

• Klik Start Windows
• Pilih dan klik Setting
• Pilih dan klik Printer. Setelah itu program akan menampilkan deretan printer baik lokal maupun di jaringan
• Klik dua kali ikon Add Printer untuk menambah printer baru di jaringan. Setelah itu program akan menampilkan kotak dialog Add Printer Wizard
• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan. Setelah itu program akan menampilkan kotak dialog Add Printer Wizard berikutnya

• Klik Network Printer
• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan. Setelah itu program akan menampilkan kotak dialog berikutnya
• Klik tombol Next untuk mengambil lokasi printer di jaringan. Setelah itu komputer akan menampilkan kotak dialog Browse For Printer
• Klik dua kali Nama Server Anda, misalnya SERVER01
• Klik salah satu nama komputer yang ada di jaringan atau komputer yang dijadikan Server, misalnya SERVER01
• Setelah Anda menekan salah satu nama komputer, maka akan  tampil nama printer yang telah di Sharing

 

Gambar 3. Kotak dialog Browse for Printer dan menampilkan nama server atau komputer lain dalam jaringan dan printer yang telah di sharing.

• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan. Maka setelah itu akan tampil kotak dialog Add Printer Wizard berikutnya dan telah membawa nama printer yang akan diinstalasi
• Klik Next. Kembali kotak dialog Add Printer Wizard akan menampilkan kotak dialog dan pada kolom Printer name sudah tampak nama printer Anda
• Klik Next untuk melanjutkan
• Pada saat kotak dialog terakhir tampil klik tombol Finish untuk mengakhirinya

Catatan:

Pada saat Anda menginstal printer untuk Client sebaiknya memperhatikan semua petunjuk yang ditampilkan program.

Anda juga bisa memasang printer menggunakan port UTP, tentu saja apabila Anda memiliki printer yang sudah mampu digunakan secara sharing melalui Switch atau HUB dalam jaringan.

To install the Print Management console on an R2 machine, simply open Manage Your Server and add the Print Server role to the machine (see Figure 1):

Figure 1: Adding the Print Server role using Manage Your Server

Be sure to have your Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 CD (the first CD of the two-CD R2 set) and also your Windows Server 2003 R2 CD (the second CD in the set) handy or know the location of your R2 installation files on the network.
Once you have the Print Server role added to your machine, you can now open the Print Management console from Administrative Tools (Figure 2):

Figure 2: The Print Management console

As an example here, I've installed Print Management on an R2 server named BOX161, which is a domain controller in the r2.local domain. Print Management can actually scan the network to find any printers present and install drivers and create printer queues for them using the local server as your print server. To do this, start by expanding the Print Servers node in the console tree to display the local server:

Figure 3: BOX161 is the local print server (the Print Management console is running on this server)

Right-click on this local server and select Automatically Add Network Printers. This opens a dialog box that will scan the local subnet for any network printers present:

Figure 4: Dialog box to scan for network printers on the local subnet

Click the Start button and the scanning process begins, and once the subnet has been scanned the information gathered will be processed, printer drivers will be installed, print queues will be created, and the printers will be shared. The only time you might have to manually intervene is to provide a driver for a printer if Windows doesn't have one for that particular brand of printer. Alternatively, let's say you already have your network printers set up and installed, as I do, and that there are two other Windows Server 2003 machines currently functioning as print servers, namely BOX162 and BOX163. Let's add BOX162 to the list of print servers and see what happens. Right-click on the Print Servers node and select Add/Remove Servers:

Figure 5: Adding a print server to Print Management

Clicking Browse lets you browse Entire Network to add BOX162 to the console (don't forget to click Add To List):

Figure 6: BOX162 is added to the list of print servers

Notice that BOX162 has printer queues for three network printers in the Sales Department. By right-clicking on any of these printers you can perform tasks such as the following:

• View the contents of the printer queue for that printer
• Pause or resume the printer queue for the printer
• Cancel all jobs pending for the printer (if there are any)
• Configure the various property sheet pages for that printer
• Print a test page to see if the printer is working properly

There's also an option to deploy printers using Group Policy, but we'll cover that one in a future article. The other nodes under the BOX162 node in the console tree let you view/manage the drivers, ports and forms for these printers. Let's go ahead and add BOX163 as a print server to make the next topic more interesting:

Using Printer Filters

Say you want to get a quick picture of what's happening with different printers on your network. For example, say you want to know which printers currently have jobs in their print queues. Using the Print Filters feature of Print Management, this is easy—a lot easier than browsing all the print queues of all your network printers! Simply expand the Custom Printer Filters node in your console tree and select Printers With Jobs:

Figure 8: Using the default printer filter named Printers With Jobs

Note that both Accounting Printer 1 and Sales Printer 2 have one job in their queue, and that the Accounting printer is ready but the Sales printer is in an error state. Opening the printer queue for the Sales printer lets you see the details of what's in the queue:

Figure 9: Test page is stuck in the queue for Sales Printer 2

That doesn't tell us what's wrong with the printer of course—maybe that could be a feature request for R3! Anyway, we could also quickly find out which printers are not ready by selecting the Printers Not Ready node, another default printer filter:

Figure 10: Using the default printer filter named Printers Not Ready

As expected, Sales Printer 2 shows up here as the only printer currently not ready on our network. The third default printer filter is named All Printers and this displays all the printers currently on your network (we have three on BOX162 and two on BOX163 which makes five in total). What's even more useful is that you can create your own custom printer filters to display whatever you want to know about printers on your network.
Let's see how this works. Right-click on the Custom Printer Filters node and select Add New Printer Filter. This starts the New Printer Filter Wizard, and let's say we want to create a filter that will display all printers on our network that are to be used for color printing only, and also indicate the number there are of such printers in parentheses beside the filter name. To do this, fill out the first screen of the wizard as follows:

Figure 11: Creating a custom filter to display all color printers on the network

Click Next and select the Field drop-down listbox. Note that you can create a filter for any of the following common printer fields (properties or conditions):

• Printer Name
• Queue Status
• Jobs in Queue
• Server Name
• Comments
• Driver Name
• Is Shared
• Location
• Share Name

So for example, we could create a filter that tests the Jobs In Queue field for all your printers using the Is Greater Than condition against the value 25. That way, any printer that currently has more than 25 jobs in its queue will satisfy the filter. But what about color? We wanted to display all color printers on our network! How do we do that? Well, fortunately when we created each printer we assigned that printer a location, and we decided to use the Location field of color printers to indicate that these were in fact used for color printing. For example, here is the General tab of the properties sheet of Sales Printer 3:

Figure 12: The Location field of Sales Printer 3 indicates it is a color printer and should be used for color printing only

So our planning helps (when does a little planning not help?) and let's us create a custom filter that checks the Location field of each printer to see if it contains the word "color" or not:

Figure 13: Filter to test the Location field for presence of the word "color" in it

Clicking Next brings up the optional Set Notifications screen of the wizard:

Figure 14: Set Notifications screen of New Printer Filter Wizard

Here we can set an email notification that is sent when the filter condition is met, or we can specify a script to be run when the condition is met. This isn't useful for this particular filter (we just want to display all color filters on our network) but for the Jobs In Queue Is Greater Than 25 condition mentioned previously we could set an email notification that sends a message to the administrator saying "Too many jobs in queue!" or something similar. Let's just click Finish here and see the result in the Print Management console:

Figure 15: Displaying all color printers using a custom filter we created

Note that the new printer filter we have created is refreshed dynamically, so it always displays current and accurate information concerning printers on the network.
