Hi David,
No one is debating that FSS needs access to printer(s)/print queues which
are served via InfoPrint Manager. The recommendation/preference that a
printer be served from one Print Server is from Athena Print Services. My
recollection is, this is tied to how the print queue data is recorded in
MOIRA. In particular, if the printer/print queue is served via "bootp", it
may lead to confusion to have the lan hw addr associated with more than one
queue/print server.
yes... When convenient, it would be helpful to bring another printer
on-line and associate it with IPM. By conforming with the APS
recommendation/preference, it is one less difference to remember and
consider if/when a problem arises.
Thanks,
Theresa
