Which of the following steps should you take?

a. Install Print Services for UNIX on a Windows 2000 Server print server.

b. Install an LPR port on each Windows 2000 client computer.

c. Install an LPR port on the Windows 2000 Server print server.

d. Install Print Services for UNIX on the UNIX print server.

e. Install an LPR port on the UNIX print server.

Sorry guys and gells too much wine at lunchtime to post the answer

Will post the answer tomorrow with another question. Bank Holiday Monday and at work don't you know :?:

 

Answer Time

Choices a and c are correct.

the best way to enable W2K users to print to the print device on a UNIX print server is to install a printer for that print device on a W2K Server print server and then share the printer. On the W2K Server print server, you should install Print Services for UNIX, install an LPR-compliant port, install the appropriate printer on the LPR port and then share the printer. The LPR port on a W2K computer impliments a print client for the LPD utility, which is the native UNIX print server utility. W2K clients will not need any additional software to connect to the print server shared on the W2K print server. The driver will be downloaded and installed automatically on a W2K client computer the first time that the client connects to the shared printer. Alternatively, you can install Windows Services for UNIX on each W2K client computer,install an LPR port and install the printer. However, this is not the best solution because it requires more effort to install the printer on all W2K client computers than to install it once on a W2K Server print server. Print services for UNIX and an LPR port are W2k componants; they cannot be installed on UNIX computers. UNIX print servers run the native LPD utility, and UNIX print clients run the native LPR utility.

I see where you are coming from Si but the questions are based on Windows 2000 Server, so I think it safe to assume that there will be at least one server in there somewhere. plus that's how M$ word the questions.
