Yes, sometimes. However, in all of our installations (including
those with less than 5,000 users), we will opt for the Import Print
Server method. It can be tedious to setup the first time, but it
works better in most cases for us.
Not everything an engineer uses is useful, or works for everyone
else. I was just asking why not use the import print server method.
Mainly since he didn't state how many users he supports.
