Printers, AD, and DHCP
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
Looking for some guidance on this issue. We have a number of printers
currently using static IPs to connect to the network. We set the
queues up on a print server, which our users connect to print. There
is a planned migration to move the internal network to a VLAN-type
configuration, which means a lot of administration in editing print
queues, etc.
The question was asked that since the printers have the ability to pull
an IP, is it possible to configure the printers for DHCP, create a pool
of IPs to assign to them, then configure AD to find those printers to
reduce administration time in editing print queues. I attempted to
find documentation on this, but could only find bits and pieces that
didn't always fit together. If someone could provide some assistance
or point me to some documentation that would help, I'd appreciate it.
