== Print Services Management Tools ==
Once print services are installed a number of print management tools are now available on the system. First and foremost is the Print Management snap-in which may be accessed via ''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management''. A useful command-line tool in the form of the Print Backup Recovery Migration tool. The executable is named '''Printbrm.exe''' and is located in ''%SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Tools''.
A number of useful VBscript tools are also available in '%SystemRoot%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US'' (note that if you use a language other than en-US the path will need to be change accordingly). Scripts are available for configuring printer settings ('''prncfg.vbs'''), listing and manging printer drivers ('''prndrvr.vbs'''), managing print jobs ('''prnjobs.vbs'''), managing print queues ('''prnQctl.vbs'''), publishing printers to active directory ('''pubprn.vbs'''), installing and managing printers ('''prnmngr.vbs''') and for managing TCP/IP printer ports ('''prnport.vbs''').
