Introduction

For years, we have heard about how the paperless office is the wave of the future. Even after the adoption of online documents, intranets, and the exploding use of email, the love affair with paper documents has not faded.

To this day, file and print services remain the bread and butter of the networking world. Printing is one of the key capabilities around which networks and computers are designed. Most computer operators cannot function without being able to transfer data onto paper. Accessing a shared printer is one of the most frequently used network capabilities. This chapter examines the Windows Server 2003 printing system and covers printer installation, management, configuration, and troubleshooting.
