Now that you have properly configured the Spooler resource with the necessary resources, you can create all of the print queues for all of the physical printers. You can also use the Clustool utility from the Resource Kit to migrate previously existing printer queues on a server to a clustered server. After that, use the Print Migrate utility to migrate the printer drivers. For best results, avoid having multiple servers configured to communicate directly with the same printer.
1. From one of the nodes or a remote computer that has administrative permissions to the cluster click Start, click Run, type \\VirtualServer where VirtualServer is the name that is specified for the Network Name resource on which the Spooler resource is dependent.
2. Double-click the Printers folder.
3. Double-click Add Printers to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next.
4. Select Create a new port, and then click Next.
Note: TCP/IP ports are the only supported port type on a Windows Clustering. Use the Standard TCP/IP Port option unless the printing clients need RFC-compliant LPR ports. If this is the case, follow these steps:
1. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components to start the Windows Components Wizard.
2. Under Components, scroll down and click to select the Other Network File and Print Services check box.
3. Click Details to open the Other Network File and Print Services window, click to select the Print Services for UNIX check box, and then click OK to close the Other Network File and Print Services window.
4. Click Next to continue with the Windows Components Wizard.
When you complete the wizard, the LPR port will be available as a port type. By default, according to RFC 1179, LPR will use only eleven TCP ports.
5. Type the IP address of the network printer that you want to process the print jobs in the Printer Name or IP Address box.
You no longer have to create a locally-defined printer port configuration for each node. In Windows 2000 (and later) the port configuration is stored in the cluster registry and is therefore shared between all cluster nodes, under the following key:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Cluster\Resources\%Spooler GUID%\Parameters\Monitors\
6. Choose the appropriate driver for this printer, and then click Next.
7. Give the printer a unique name on the cluster server.
8. Choose a share name for the printer; this name must also be unique on this cluster. You do not want to have any other printers with the same share name on this cluster, even if they are in a different group and associated with a different Spooler resource.
9. Test the printing for this printer:
After you add all the desired print queues, use Cluster Administrator to move the group that contains the Print Spooler resource to all other nodes. This copies the printer drivers from the \PrinterDrivers folder on the shared disk to the %SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Drivers\%Spooler GUID%\Drivers folder on that node.
