28 Chapter 2 Setting Up Print Service
Creating a Printer Pool
You can use Server Admin to create a printer pool.
To create a printer pool:
1 In Server Admin, select Print in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings, then click Queues.
3 Create two or more print queues.
For more information on creating a print queue see “Adding a Print Queue” on page 22.
Important: Pooled printers should be of like make and model to ensure that the printer
will provide consistent output to the user. Users may lose some printer functionality
when more fully featured printers are pooled with printers having fewer features.
4 Select two or more printers from the queues list. The Create Pool button will highlight.
5 Click the Create Pool button.
6 Enter a name to identify the print pool. This becomes the sharing name by which users
will identify the print pool.
7 Click OK.
8 Select the protocols used for printing by your client computers.
If you select “SMB”, make sure you start Windows services.
9 Select “Enforce quotas for this queue” if you want to enforce the print quotas you
establish for users in Workgroup Manager.
10 Select a cover sheet you would like the printer to create by selecting a title from the
pop-up menu. If you don’t want the server to create a coversheet for each job printed,
select “none”.
11 Click Save, then click the Back button (in the upper left).
