    After installing a printer in the Print Management on a windows 2008R2 does not show up locally (start> devices and printers>) on the server. And yes it  is shared and list on active directory.

    I assume you do see it in Print Management.  When you set the port and the driver the same for multiple shares, Devices and Printer only shows one device with some fly out tabs for the other shares.   For admin work use the tools the print team provide, PrintManagement.msc.  If you need separate out the shares in Devices UI, and the port is a Standard TCP/IP port, create another port using a different name to the same physical printer for each share.

    Yes I can see it in Print Management , I also have other printers (HP) that are in Print Management and are showing up in Devices and Printer. Just wondering why just this one HP printer is not, it was setup the same way as the others.

    Hi Alan,

    not necessarily, you can do like this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2010/03/02/windows-7-where-are-my-printers.aspx

    Happy new year !

    I would REALLY like it to show up in  Devices and Printer not a new folder.

    well, in this case apparently, the only way is to have separate _PORT_ names (that still have the same IP address), and Windows 7 will show them as separate printers like Alan said.
