Ask the Flist: Enterprise-scale printing?
Nov. 6th, 2009 01:37 pmWe've got 5000 Windows desktops and a Windows 2003 Enterprise two-node print cluster. The print cluster carries 850 printers in 60 models from 10 manufacturors.
It's creaking. It's creaking particularly because HP (our main supplier) drivers share components and are crappy desktop-grade filth. Every so often a change to one printer's spec will cascade through the whole model line or worse, the whole brand. Joy is unfolding, from the heavens, like a lotus blossom of migraine flashes.
Do you do enterprise-scale printing? How the hell do you keep this ball of string tight?
