AD DS Printer Publishing

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.

You can publish printer information to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) so that users can search for printers by location or other attributes. Publishing a printer creates a PrintQueue object in AD DS as a child of the print server computer account.
