I am investigating a similar solution. Does anyone know how to get around |
| 12 |
windows 2000's inability to handle more than a few hundred print queues? I've |
| 13 |
got an application I'm trying to load balance, but in order to do so I have |
| 14 |
to have every possible output destination ( printer ) defined on every |
| 15 |
windows server in the application cluster. I'm gonna be offloading the |
| 16 |
printing to a linux print server, but it appears that windows can only handle |
| 17 |
so many print queues .... |
| 18 |
|

... anyone ever dealt with a similar issue? |
