Configuring Logical Printers for Workload
Balancing
This section describes how to create a logical printer for a printer pool
configuration of logical printers, queues, and physical printers. It
presents a sample configuration which will illustrate how to:
• Balance the printing workload of your system by configuring a queue
to send jobs to multiple physical printers. This is one of the major
benefits of HPDPS.
• Restrict use of some physical printer capabilities at the physical
printer level instead of with logical printers.
A printer pool configuration, as described in Chapter 3, has a
one-to-many relationship between a logical printer and physical printers
as shown in Figure 6-8, “One Logical Printer for Multiple Physical
Printers,”.
