ThanksPhilip_Demaree 

 

Can you please help me for the below

  • What is the specification required for the new windows 2016 server?

  • I need to make sure all our printers can communicate from the new server & install those 10 Printer drivers to the new server? Is that correct?

  • What happen if the Universal Print connector Server is down or the service is not running, what will be the end-user experience?Is that means users cannot print
  • Any other automated option to add universal printer to a windows device via In tune

Nickson_Easow Answers in order:

1. No specification, any SKU of Server 2016 should work. It can be stand alone or joined to the domain. 

2. Yes, the printers need to installed as local printers on the same network as the physical devices, so that they can print a test page. 

3. The printer should show as Offline on the client if the Connector or the spooler on the server is not running. Users will not be able to print. 

4. This feature is currently being worked on, and should be available in a future release.
