In the Printer Installation page select the Add a new printer using an existing port. Elect a port and hit Next button. In the Printer Driver page select Use an existing printer driver on the computer option. From the drop-down list select a driver that matches your printer device manufacturer and model. Now you need to type a name for the printer in the box shown in the picture below. Below the Printer Name you can also see another option: Share this printer.
As a result you can choose a share name and location for the printer. If needed you can leave a comment for users guidance. Finally we are done with adding printer on a server. Just click on Finish button to finish the wizard. While finished the wizard you can find the printer in All Printers option in the left pane.
If you would like to print a test page selecting Print a test page at the bottom of the wizard also you can add another printer by selecting Add another printer. Maybe you need different kinds of drivers for client computers to use be able to use print device. So you need to have bit and bit drivers. First of all you need to right-click on Drivers option below the server which you want to add driver to.
Select the Add driver option. In the Welcome page we have nothing to do. In the Processor Selection page you need to specify which kind of processors do your clients use.
You can one or both of the options and hit Next. In the Printer Driver Selection page you need to specify two things. Secondly specify the printer model. In addition to these you have one more useful option.
If you have driver on a disk, you can click on Have Disk button and find path of the source and add it. We are done and the driver was added to the server. In these cases, these drivers will install and share exactly as they did before in Windows Server R2. To make installation and maintenance of these drivers easier than they were in previous operating systems, the bit core driver files and the ntprint.
If a bit driver has a dependency on a core driver, an administrator can install a bit v3 driver without needing to use an installed bit operating system as a source for the ntprint. Creating shared print queues in Windows Server follows the same process as Windows Server R2.
A local printer must be installed on the server and connected to a port and a driver, and the print queue must be shared in order for client computers to discover and connect to it. When using a v4 driver, an administrator does not need to install a driver for any additional processor architectures.
The Port and Driver must already exist or the Add-Printer command will fail. When connecting to a print queue using a v4 driver from a client computer, the client computer will install the print queue using the enhanced Point and Print process described previously.
The user will not be prompted to provide credentials to install the v4 print driver. The v4 driver installs from the local driver store and the user will see a printer installation indicator with a status bar. After the installation completes, the printer is ready to use with no further action needed. A client running a previous version of Windows can install and print to a Windows Server print queue that is using a v4 driver by using the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print Compatibility Driver.
Windows 7 clients do not support the v4 driver model so they need to download and install the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print Compatibility Driver from the Windows Server Print Server. Windows Server comes with both a bit and bit compatibility driver pre-installed.
After the printer is installed, its properties will show the driver as the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver instead of the v4 Class Driver or Model Specific driver that is installed on the server. The Microsoft enhanced Point and Print Compatibility Driver works cross-platform as well, as a bit Windows 7 client downloads and installs the bit version of the driver from the server running Windows Server and uses this driver to print to all v4 print queues.
