Print Management - HP StorageWorks X1800sb - Network Storage Blade User Manual

Print Management

Print Management is an MMC snap-in that you can use to view and manage printers and print servers
in your organization. You can use Print Management from any computer running Windows Storage
Server 2008, and you can manage all network printers on print servers running Windows 2000
Server, Windows Server 2003, Windows Storage Server 2003, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2,
or Windows Storage Server 2008.
Print Management provides details such as the queue status, printer name, driver name, and server
name. You can also set custom views by using the Print Management filtering capability. For example,
you can create a view that displays only printers in a particular error state. You can also configure
Print Management to send e-mail notifications or run scripts when a printer or print server needs
attention. The filtering capability also allows you to bulk edit print jobs, such as canceling all print
jobs at once. You can also delete multiple printers at the same time.
Administrators can install printers remotely by using the automatic detection feature, which finds and
installs printers on the local subnet to the local print server. Administrators can log on remotely to a
server at a branch location, and then install printers remotely.
