Re: Too many names

Hello Mr. Morris.
Sorry, I realize, I asked 3 questions and thank you for answering the 2nd
one.
I also realize that the print queue name is different from the printer queue
name, which I was referring to.

Therefore, my first question is regarding the printer queue names on the
Windows environment, the printer queue names created by administrators.
" Please, what name is used for the server's printer queue name and what's
the purpose of it."

I guess I found the 2nd part of my 2nd question, the purpose of the server's
printer queue name is to resolve the name into the IP address, although I do
not understand how are the A(host) and PTR records entered/updated in the
DNS in an AD environment and if printers use ddns like workstations. On the
other hand, if this printer queue name is to resolve the printer's name into
the IP address why would we experience ghost printers? Don't DHCP and DNS
keep in touch? lol


The first part of my 2nd question though is where I need some help. Out of
so many printer names that I mentioned in my original post, which one is
used for the server's printer queue name, please. Is it the NetBIOS name of
the printer, or could it be any name?

Although it may seem like I have many questions, everything is related to
one thing only: the printer queue name.


Any help / link will be appreciated!
