Problems Completing Lab

You are going to give your users rights to your printers. Rights allow them to DO things. In this case, we’ll use printers.

Create a printer share

a. Create a new TCP/IP port: 192.168.1.171

b. Printer: HP 1300n

2. Give the following users rights:

a. Munchkin group: print

b. Ozians: Manage printers

c. Administrators: Manage documents

3. Pause your printer share (right click-->pause)

4. Log into your workstation as a Munchkin. Have him print something.

a. Try to delete that file from the print queue.

b. Does it work? Why or why not?

5. Log in as an administrator.

a. Try to delete the file from the print queue.

b. Does it work? Why or why not?

c. Restart printing.

Create a Printer Pool

1. Go into your printer share.

2. Create a new TCP/IP port. Give it an IP address in the same subnet as the other printer.

3. Enable printer pooling.

4. What kind of printer does this have to be if its in a printer pool?

5. What happens to print jobs if the first printer dies?

6. What happens to print jobs if the first printer is tied up with a great big job?

Change priorities on printers

1. Create a second printer share just like you did in the first exercise.

2. Name it Admin Printer.

3. Give it the same IP and use the installed HP driver.

4. Go into printer properties and set the priority of this printer so that it will print BEFORE the other printer if there is a fight.

5. Go into the other printer and change the priority so it will print after.

6. What priority did you set on Admin Printer?

7. What priority did you set on the other printer?

8. If you and a neighbor send a print job at the exact same time, you send it to Admin Printer, he sends it to the other printer, what will happen?

Fake a broken printer

1. Create a new printer share

a. HP Printer

b. IP port: 192.168.1.87 (this port will not work, but go ahead and create it anyhow).

2. Install the printer on your workstation.

3. Send a file to print to this printer. It should just kind of sit there. (Just do a document with your name on it.)

4. Go into your share

a. Add a new port: 192.168.1.171

b. Enable printer pooling

5. What happens? (Go to the printer to see if it printed.)

6. This is what you do if a printer fails, but you’ve got documents that must print in the queue.
