PRINT SERVER SETUP

[Matt Pollicove]

Hello.

I am looking for advice on optimizing my printing setup for a small
accounting practice.

Currently we have a Windows 2000 Server holding data and MS Exchange with
AD, a Windows 2003 Server holding mostly Applications and no AD, a NETGEAR
Print Server, and 3 Workstations running Windows XP. The printers are HP
LaserJet 4+.

My question is, how can I best organize these resources?

I've been told to ditch the NETGEAR print server, and connect both by
Printers to the Windows 2000 Server and share through there. If this is the
case, can anyone point me towards information on properly configuring
Windows 2000 Server for this?

Thanks!
Matt
