Why add a printer to Active Directory?

Question

Active Directory

There is a domain. There are network printers. There is a raised Print Server service on the server Windows.
All printers are added there. All printers through GPO attached to OU cling. Cling simply through "Printer Deployment" in User Conf - Policies - Windows Conf - Printer Connection, and there you simply specify the server and printer name through \\.
Everything works fine. But in the properties of the printer itself, when you go through the snap-in, in the access section, where the network name itself is given, if the "Add to AD" checkbox is checked,
Why is it needed? What does she give? What are the pros/cons of this? In fact through GPO they and so normally cling. Will they be registered somewhere and will be displayed somewhere else besides this?

Answer 1

Will they be registered somewhere and will be displayed somewhere else besides this?

In the printer add menu will be immediately visible, eg.

Answer 2

It is fashionable to set up a policy that will connect printers to people who are in a certain AD group, in addition, you can set up very flexible filtering, for example, connect a certain printer only to users logged into the terminal server, or users working on a
laptop, etc.
