Printer Pooling

[Eric Marthinsen]

Hello-

If a printer in a pool is turned off, experiencing an error, or is otherwise unavailable, will jobs continue to be directed to that printer, or will it be "removed" from the queue?

Also, what third-party products compete with the Windows 2000 print spooler?

Regards-
Eric

I found the solution burried in the MS site. For the reference of the group, here it is:

"If one device within a pool stops printing, the current document is held at that device. The succeeding documents print to other devices in the pool, while the delayed document waits until the nonfunctioning printer is fixed."
