NetBIOS Over TCP and Printer Sharing

If we turn off NetBIOS over TCP on all network adapters, how can we share
printers on individual workstations? Do those all need to be moved to
print server devices (e.g., HP JetDirect) or consolidated to a few PCs that
leave NetBIOS over TCP enabled? What is the native Active Directory
solution to printer sharing?

If you are before W2K you can't , but from W2K network and msb used in
parallel so Netbios can be switched off

If you can't find the printer in Active Directory, try:

\\<ServerIPaddress>\PrinterShareName
