when using domain base DFS namespace and member servers are also print
servers is it possible to use \\domain_name\printer simila how shares are
presented to end user in DFS or do I still have to use old fashion
\\server_name1\printer, \\server_name2\printer naming schema?

For printing purpose, u still use the OLD conventional UNC sharename. That
is \\server01\printer_shared
