Hi
Why would you install a local Print Server and use TCP/IP Printing?. Im
assuming you mean use TCP/IP Printing with Screwdrivers without the local Print
Server.
Have you had any issues with Printing via TCP/IP? Ie contention issues if
multiple users print to the same printer? Printer Managability issues etc?

I'd do 1 and 2 ...
- Connect local printers directly on clients via TCP/IP.
- Get Screwdrivers to improve reliability, reduce printer driver
management hassle, and reduce/control print job bandwidth
consumption.

solution
Hi
I need some assistance in redesigning our existing Citrix
Printing Solution. Our current solution consists of a Citrix Presentation
Server 4 farm with a central dedicated Windows 2003 Print Server (all in Head
office on the same network). We have sites around the country running fat
clients (Windows XP) with client network printers (connecting back to Print
Server in Head office). We use a combination of Native Drivers and
Universal Driver. The issue we have is that Print Jobs spool across the
WAN (small links) and it takes forever to print large documents (sometimes 2
hours).
I was looking at implementing one of the following
solutions
1) Install Local Print Servers at each site. This would
prevent print jobs spooling over the WAN. We are also looking at either
ThinPrint / ScrewDrivers to simplify printing / improve spooler
reliability.
2) Do not install local Print Server. Instead, don't
use central print server and setup client printers via Standard TCP/IP
Printing. This removes the spooling over the WAN as the central Print
Server is not used. Im concerned this solution removes Printer
managability and all benefits of having a central Print Server. It is
however the cheapest solution as I would not have to install any new
hardware.
What solution would you recommend?
Can printer creation
using Standard TCP/IP Printing be automated as I would need to create new
printers on 300 PC's?
How do you manage your Printing in your
organisation?
Is there anyone out there using Standard TCP/IP Printing?
Do you have any issues?
Thanks in advance
Angela
