In administration, another important aspect is to set the priority for the printer, so users have the same printer installer and can print according to their priority. In this case, printing will be in the order of users with the highest priority then lowering to other users with lower priority.

To do so, you need to add different logical printers and then add users or departments that have different priorities.

To do this, first add the printer to the Print Server, by following the steps given below.

Step 1 - Click Server Manager> Tools> Print Management . Then on the left panel, click Print Servers, then right-click Printers> Add Printer .
