<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'>We don’t
use a lot of networked printers but we have several color copiers that can be
used for our Admin staff to print to. We use a Windows Print server and share
them. We set up access security via the security properties tab and
create groups for certain printers and just add the group. We use locked mandatory
profiles and only admins can install printers on the workstation. We
install the networked printers on workstations for our users on an as needed
basis. We have the good fortune that most of our staff at least have a local
printer so it is not a big undertaking managing them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I am curious how other
techs/admins deal with managing networked printers ? Does anyone use
Active Directory to make these "discoverable" via the Windows Add
Printer wizard? <br>
<br>
If not, how do you manage these from a staff perspective? Windows shares?
direct to printer? Automated scripts or manual installation?<br>
