How to Stop the Sharing of a Printer
Lesson 4 Configuring Network Printers
11-29
If the printing demands on your network change, you can stop sharing an existing
shared printer. Use the Sharing tab of the Properties dialog box for that printer to stop
sharing it. The steps to stop sharing a printer are similar to those for sharing a printer.
However, in the steps to stop sharing a printer, in the Properties dialog box for the
printer, in the Sharing tab, click Do Not Share This Printer (refer to Figure 11-7), and
then click OK.
How to Create a Printer Pool
F11us09
A printer pool consists of two or more identical printers that are connected to one
print server and are configured with a single logical printer. The printers can be local
or network interface printers. Although the printers should be identical, you can use
printers that are not identical but use the same printer driver. After you install a printer,
you can create a printer pool using the Ports tab of the Properties dialog box for that
printer. In the Ports tab, select the Enable Printer Pooling check box and select additional
ports on the printer server (see Figure 11-9).
Figure 11-9 Enable printer pooling using the Properties dialog box for the printer.
When you create a printer pool, users can print documents without checking to see
which printer is available. The document prints on the first available printer in the
printing pool.
