How to add printers to my windows 2003 file and print cluster
Okay my memory is failing me here., I have set up an active / passive cluster with file and print. I somehow set up a couple of printer queues, I didn't make notes, I should have because for the life of me I can't figure out how to add more printers.
I found a great website that explained how to do this in detail, not Microsoft. Anyway, I did check Microsoft KBs to no avail.
I have a couple printers set up, however they don't appear in the "Printers & Faxes" box in either one of my two cluster servers.
If I do an active directory search for these two printers, they do appear and I can install them.
I created a print spooler resource using the cluster admin wizard, all appears to be fine.
Thanks!

Yes I have already used the cluster administration tool to creat the printer resource. I have added a couple of printers, my question is how to add more?
The wizard I was using was the "Cluster Application Wizard", to create the spooler resource.

Okay I found it. You have to go to \\cluster\Printers and Faxes From there you click on "Add Printer" from the top left menu.

If you use the printers and faxes wizard the printer will only be available on the node that you use the wizard on.
