Print Server Upgrade, Migration, and Interoperability
|
Microsoft has made a number of enhancements to the printing subsystem of the Microsoft Windows® 2000 and later operating systems. This paper provides an overview of these new features and discusses details about upgrading and migrating to Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. In a network printing environment that mixes the Windows NT® operating system with other Windows platforms, interoperability issues can arise. This paper describes various methods for dealing with these issues for the systems integrators, administrators, and architects who are planning, deploying, or managing Windows print servers.
