Introduction
Printing is a feature that has been incorporated into various versions of the Windows operating system, and has evolved over the years. Printer configuration and management in Windows Server 2019 hasn't changed much from earlier versions, and provides you with the ability to create print servers that you can share with users in your organization.
When printing in Windows, the physical device that renders output onto paper is known as a print device. A printer is a queue for a print device. A print server can support multiple printers.
Each printing device has an associated printer driver that converts your documents to the printed form on a given print device. Some drivers come with Windows—others you need to obtain from the printer vendor. In some cases, these drivers are downloadable from the internet; in other cases, you may need to download and run a driver installation program to add the correct drivers to your print server.
