Line Printer Daemon service
The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) role service can be
added to provide printer support for UNIX-based computers. By installing
the LPD service, you can share printers in which UNIX-based computers
can connect using their native printing protocol.
Internet Printing
The Internet Printing role service installs services
to support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and a Web site where
administrators can manage printers installed on the print server. In
most cases, you will probably not want to allow your network printers to
be accessible via the Internet; however, by using Internet Printing you
can provide an easy-to-use interface for new admins or users to manage
print queues and connect to shared printers.
Distributed scan server
The
distributed scan server role service provides network scan management
using Windows Server 2008 R2. Using scan management, you can administer
network scanners on your network as well as process and route scanned
documents. When adding the distributed scan server role service, there
are several options that will need to be configured:
1. | First you will need to specify a service account for the service to run (see Figure 11). This account needs to be an Active Directory domain user account.
|
2. | Next
you will need to specify the temporary folder location to store scanned
files while they are being processed by the scan server.
|
3. | You also need to specify an SMTP mail server for relaying notifications from the scan service (see Figure 12).
|
4. | Next
you will need to specify a certificate to use to provide SSL encryption
between the scan server and clients. For testing purposes, you can
choose to use a self-signed certificate; however, for production
deployments you should use a certificate from an authorized certificate
authority.
|
After you have configured those options, the role
service installation will be complete. You will then be required to
restart the server before using scan management.
Once the server reboots, you
can access the scan management console via Server Manager. You can
configure scan management to accept scanned files from network scanners
and route them to network shared folders, SharePoint sites, or e-mail.
Use of scan management services in Windows Server 2008 R2 allows you to
centrally manage scanning processes and workflows for network scanners.
