You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the Print and Document
Services server role installed.
Server1 is connected to two identical print devices.
The solution must ensure that if one print device fails, the print jobs will print automatically on the other print
device.
What should you do on Server1?
A.
Add two printers and configure the priority of each printer.
B.
Add one printer and configure printer pooling.
C.
Install the Network Load Balancing (NLB) feature, and then add one printer.
D.
Install the Failover Clustering feature, and then add one printer
Explanation:
A printing pool is one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple ports of the print server.
The printer that is idle receives the next document sent to the logical printer. When printing to a printer pool, the
spooler will send waiting jobs to alternate ports. If the original or alternate ports are not available
A printing pool is one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple ports of the print server. The
printer that is idle receives the next document sent to the logical printer. This is useful in a network with a high
volume of printing because it decreases the time users wait for their documents.
A printing pool also simplifies administration because multiple printers can be managed from the same logical
printer on a server. 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 thenonfunctioning printer is fixed. Efficient printer pools have the following characteristics:
All printers in the pool are the same model.
Printer ports can be of the same type or mixed (parallel, serial, and network). It is recommended that all printers
be in one location. Because it is impossible to predict which printer will receive the document, keep all printers
in a pool in a single location. Otherwise, users might have a hard time finding their printed document.
You can create a printing pool to automatically distribute print jobs to the next available printer. A printing pool is
one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple ports of the print server. The printer that is idle
receives the next document sent to the logical printer.
