Setup Printer Server in Window Enviroment

Recently company performing upgrading the printer due to the contract of leasing is end. So i have these opportunities to re-setup the entire print server and all the printer in the company. But here I to record down the very small request that requested by end user in my company.

So before you setup print server, you need few parameters in order to make sure the installation is going smooth.
  1. A server with complete setup and with fix ip.
  2. IP addresses for printer.
  3. AD server IP address or name for user authentication.
  4. SMTP server name or IP and account for scan to email (may vary to different setup)
  5. And the printer driver.

The request of the end user always very strange and picky. So have to really do a lot of home work. 

When the user is printing, he/she dun not want to see the notification appear as they consider it is an interference for them. So to disable the notification during printing, you have go to Device and Printers (You can locate this in control panel too). At the top of the device and printer window, at the top bar there is a menu with the name of Printer server properties. As shown at below picture.

While for Window XP you may locate it On the File menu, click Server Properties.





Then another small window menu will pop up and go to last tab to the menu. You will see there is a check box with the description. Select the setting as you wish and save it.To disable the notification when printing, uncheck Show informational notification for network printers. Please take note that the menu may vary according to the printer driver.
