Keeping the Print Queue on a Windows NT Server
Because Microsoft Windows Networking is a peer-to-peer network,
it is possible for clients workstations to connect directly to the
network print server. However, because the print server's memory
is limited, a client may have to wait for large print jobs to
complete instead of letting the print server queue the entire job.
To reduce wait times for clients, you may wish to store the print
queue on a Windows NT Server. For a Windows NT 4.0 server,
1. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Printers item within it. Windows will display the Printers
folder.
2. Double-click on the Add Printer icon in the Printers folder.
Windows will start the Add Printer Wizard.
3. Choose the My Computer selection and click the Next >
button to continue.
