Hi,
I've got a cutomer with about 1200. Use it to drive lpd queues to
client-connected printers. They're thinking of putting in a second
server for load balancing cause they want to add another 400 printer
queues.
The main issue is memory for all the drivers. If you standardize and
only have a few different printer types, life just got a whole lot
easier for the server.
In terms of the configuration you've got, unless the print are all going
to be huge (graphics prints etc) your hardware is overkill.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] OT: Print Server: Printer Limits
Hi,
At the moment I'm wondering if there are any limits I should apply to
the amount of printers I add to an individual print server w2k (IBM
X335, dual 2GHZ Xeon, 2GB Ram). We have a 125 printers on one printer
server. Does this sound like a lot? I know it depends on hardware config
and printer usage, so should I just keep an perfmon eye on memory and
processor and if that is ok, then keep adding? Is their any OS limits or
other considerations I should think about?
Thanks
Thomas
