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)
expedite documents that need to be printed immediately
B)
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
C)
NLB for printing is not supported
D)
Would need 2 nodes
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 the nonfunctioning 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 isidle receives the next document sent to the logical printer.
