Validating with the Business

Work with the business to assess the need for printer pools. Good results can be achieved by use of printer pools in areas where printers can be arranged in close proximity to each other and where users can be educated to locate their documents on one of a number of printers. The business will need to buy into this approach.

This decision can be made to increase fault tolerance. It requires buy-in from the business and will slightly increase administration overhead for the Print Services infrastructure.
