This post provides print server support for Microsoft windows Vista operating system and provide steps by steps solution to fix multifunction print server
The Minolta Di450 all-in-one machine is meant for high-capacity printing applications such as printing multiple documents with many pages in rapid succession for a home or office computer network. If you want all of the computers on your network to be able to access the Minolta printer individually, you can set up a print server by using the built-in networking features of the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
Insert the software installation disc that came with the Minolta Di450 printer into the computer on your network that is closest to the router. Follow the instructions that will pop up on the computer screen to install the Minolta printer software.
Take an Ethernet cable and connect one end into the Ethernet port on the back of the Minolta Di450 printer. Connect the other end into an open Ethernet port on the back of your network's router.
Open the "Start" menu on the computer where you installed the Minolta software. Click on the icon labeled "Control Panel." Scroll through the options and locate the icon labeled as "Network and Sharing Center." Double click the icon to bring up a new window. Click on the "View Computers and Devices" link at the left side of the window.
Click on the blue button labeled "Add A Printer" at the top of the window. Click on the "Add a Network Printer" button, then click on the "Next" button at the bottom of the window. Wait for the list of available printers to appear on the menu screen. Click on the Minolta printer, then click on "Next." Click "OK" to finish the process.
Close the "Network and Sharing Center" window. Access the other computers on the network that will need to use the Minolta printer and repeat the process of adding the printer in the "Network and Sharing Center" menu.

Microsoft has launched Windows Small Business Server 2008, which is aimed at companies with up to 75 employees.
The software includes copies of Sharepoint and Exchange Server, which offer company-wide email, remote access to desktop machines, backup and restoration services, as well as file and printer sharing.
Small Business Server also allows employees with Windows Mobile-based smartphones to access their email, contacts and calendar remotely.
Unsurprisingly, security figures prominently in the feature list, with customers receiving a 120-day evaluation copy of Windows Live OneCare, and Forefront Security for Exchange Server, which scans messages for viruses, spam and spyware.
There's also a premium version of Business Server called Essential Business Server aimed at companies with 300 or more employees.
Essential Business Server customers receive a copy of the SQL Server 2008 database management software, and a one-year subscription to Forefront Security for Exchange Server and Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
