You are running a training exercise for junior administrators. You are currently discussing printer pooling.
Which of the following is TRUE with regards to printer pooling? (Choose all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,E
You can create a printing pool to automatically distribute print jobs to the next available printer. A printing pool is one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple ports of the print server. The printer that is idle receives the next document sent to the logical printer. This is useful in a network with a high volume of printing because it decreases the time users wait for their documents. A printing pool also simplifies administration because multiple printers can be managed from the same logical printer on a server.
