windows print server?
Should we use our Windows Print Server(s) to route jobs from Bartender to our (Zebra) printers ? Currently we have direct "Standard TCP/IP Port" connections from our Bartender systems to our printers.
What is the best practice ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach ?

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for reaching us via the Community Forums!
There shouldn't be any issues routing print jobs using Windows Print Server. That being said, in order to provide you with better recommendations, could you tell us a little bit more about your BarTender environment? Are the workstations, printers, and Print Servers located in the same network? Do you use any VPNs? Etc.
Thank you in advance.0 -
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I am still interested in this topic.
We have 20+ printers at 8 sites. The workstations and printers are distributed across all the sites. The printservers are located in two "core" sites.
We have at least 100Mbps, symmetrical available between any two sites over the VPN with <50ms latency. Within the next quarter that will be cut to ~10ms as we continue cutting over to fiber.
I've just finished upgrading our Bartender servers (License servers, integration servers) to Bartender 2022 and now I'm planning the workstation upgrades. I still have the same questions: What is the best practice ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach ?

If you are running the integrations on a central server then a centrally installed printer driver may be the way to go. If this is then shared on the network any users that need to print directly to the print via BarTender would then need to install/link to this shared device and that way would it would help to prevent duplicate printers being detected on the licence.
