tcp/ip printer via gpp


server 2008

printer hp4650c
can deploy using shared printer discussed here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winservergp/thread/2b2007f5-e2c0-4d5c-adb1-24f54cce5eba/

install independant of shared printer (mainly due shared printer causing default page size default letter)

following link instructions , setting printer path ip address causes error on client - printer name invalid (tried http:\\x.x.x.x , x.x.x.x)
driver installed on client

suggestions ?

for tcp/ip printers need define the "printer path" has point shared printer of same type.
this needed have installation source driver (even if theneeded driver installed locally)
and - personal theory - need have pointer printer model itself.
how should client , gpp cse know which model of printer you'd install?
by pointing shared printer mapping done.
according experience needed during printer installation time , there no dependency later.
but of course if new clients shall printer well, need shared printer being online. therefore i'd recommend to
keep printer share online anyway.

for me configuration works:
ip-address = x.y.z.n
local name = myprintername
printer path = \\mydummyserver\mydummyprintershare
