Hello Everyone,
We have a centralized windows 2003 print server servicing hundreds of network attached laser printers today. Print jobs are received from Unix hosts via TCP\IP LPR printing, processed by the windows server, and passed directly on to the network attached
printer.
There is a new requirement to establish print queues on this same windows print server servicing the same types of print jobs, but rather than send the job from the windows 2003 print server to the network attached printer, it would be sent to a windows
XP professional workstation (in a work group) sharing a printer connected to the local parallel port and using TCP\IP print services.
Naturally, if we send the Unix job directly to the Windows XP workstation print is successful. What we cannot figure out is if we can create queues on the windows 2003 server that would
basically forward the job to the Windows XP workstation queues. This way there would be only one target for the Unix sending systems to address and one point of centralized queue management.
Does anyone have any experience with this and is it even possible ?
Thanks
Rayford
