RayMack Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Deploying printers with group policy basically allows you to install printer connections to a group of individual users, and to install drivers on those computers. When using shared printers, the print server can share the printer driver as well. With certain types of printers, such as TCP/IP printers, you have to create a share on a print server and you may or may not be able to deploy the driver to those types of printers. TCP/IP printers will print directly, without hitting the print server first, as an upside--if that even IS an upside for your intents and purposes. Wouldn't sharing printers be the easiest way unless you want to control the access for each individual user? Setup Group Policy to deploy to printers and reference the shared printer.
