Printing Strategy
Why? What is the alternative?– Of course, you can’t toss it all and start over
Purchasing uniformly Installing uniformly Connecting appropriately

Printing Strategy
Print Devices by connection type Direct Cabled: Parallel or USB Ethernet Share
– Includes Print Server strategy– Sharing computer may be direct-cable to print
device or via Ethernet (or even via another share)

Printing Strategy
Shopping Microsoft
Printer Hardware Software
“Print Device” Don’t need this silly term

Terminological oddity #1

Direct cable connect
Ethernet Share from another host
Who can Install

Ethernet Print Devices: Installing
IP Address and IP hostname– Probably gets one from DHCP– To see address, print internal test page, or read
off of LCD– Probably want to change it, to protect from DHCP
changes. (When not?) 4th octet above 231.

Ethernet Print Devices: Installing
– Ways to change: LCD control panel. HTTP interface. Old HP network tool. HP tool built into recent driver installers.
– Also change Method– Consider using name instead. Either cryptic
generated one, or make your own. “LABLASER” for example.

Ethernet Print Devices: Installing Printer
Manufacturer’s disk 95 and 98, old HP network tool 2000 and XP, regular MS Add Printer wizard
– Logged on as admin– Add as local, clear checkbox for Auto detect PnP– Can reuse existing TCP/IP port?– Or create new port(continued)

Reboot Camp
Ethernet Print Devices: Installing Printer
2000 and XP, regular MS Add Printer wizard(continued)
– Or create new port– Give IP numerical address of print device– OR give hostname of print device– After creating port, Add Printer wizard continues– All users should see that printer
(suspend PPT, do live demo of Wizard)

Printer Shares: Installing
Who may install: Any User Who sees it: Users who have installed Problem: many student users

Reboot Camp
Printer Shares: Installing
Install as local on hosting computer. Share from there. Choose share name
systematically. On other computers, install as Network
Printer. (In MS sense.) Short cut: Browse or Search to print share,
right click, choose Install or Connect.

Printer Shares: Installing for many users
Problem: many student users Answer 1: Let them run Add Printer Wizard Answer 2: Deploy short cheap location-
specific script (example on next slide) Answer 3: Site-wide automatic, sophisticated
script.– See Revere – Best with Print server

Printer Shares: Installing for many users
Short cheap location-specific script
dim objNet set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\I5560w000021798\HP2000C"' objNet.SetDefaultPrinter "\\I5560w000021798\HP2000C"

Hybrid Printer Strategy
Corresponding Pros and Cons of Ether and Share Share Ethernet
Host must be up No issue
Computational burden on host
No issue
Can use VM or disk to spool on host
Limited to onboard RAM, queue backs up on sending machines
28 June 2005CUIP Tech Coordinators
Reboot Camp
Hybrid Printer Strategy
Share Ethernet
Print device and host must be close
Anywhere
In multiuser context, must install for each user
Admin installs once for all
Fussy host name to type or fussy network browse
Fussy IP address to fiind and change
Manage queue, trace sender
Little or no management
28 June 2005CUIP Tech Coordinators

Hybrid Printer Strategy
Print Device uses Ethernet Interface One Host connects to Print Device over
Ethernet– If possible, takes sole control of it
That Host shares the Printer Other computers use the share

Hybrid Printer Strategy
Is it a panacea? Best of both worlds? No. Is it the worst of both worlds? No. Advantages:
– Can install by script– Can manage queue
Disadvantages:– Host must be on– Processing burden on host– Need local install for each user
28 June 2005CUIP Tech Coordinators

Hybrid Printer Strategy
Those disadvantages not so big if the host is your server– Server is expected to be up– Server is less likely to be overburdened– Host name is not so obscure, and there’s just
one. Helpful both for manual Wizard use and script.

Managing Printer Use
Ethernet print device – little or no control Share – watch queue Hybrid (or Print Server) – manage like Share Separate teacher and student submissions
– Multiple printer entries for single print device– Use domain user/groups to control printing
permissions
