We are a small organization and there are 3 network printers.

We would like to use a windows XP workstation as a Print Server. There are
around 20 staff in our site. However, I learn that for XP,
the limitation is only 10 users.

I would like to know does it mean that we cannot use XP as Print
Server in our case ? OR It doesn't allow 10 users print to network
printers at the same time ?

Thanks

Ten concurrent users. When one drops off, another can connect. There are
other solutions, however:

Get a real print-server and connect it to the network. Here's over 800 of
them:

This fix may remove the limitation:
