Lesson Summary
■ To share an existing printer, use the Sharing tab of the Properties dialog box for
the printer and select Share This Printer.
■ If you expect network users of a shared printer to have computers that are running
different versions of Windows, you can install different drivers so that they are
automatically available to users who connect to the printer.
■ To stop sharing a printer, in the Properties dialog box for the printer, on the Sharing
tab, click Not Shared.
■ A printer pool consists of two or more identical printers that are connected to one
print server and act as a single printer.
■ Setting priorities on virtual printers makes it possible for users to send critical documents
to a high-priority printer and noncritical documents to a lower-priority
printer, even when there is only one physical printer.
