In our environment we have a few workstations whose use is limited to one or
two individuals. The rest are typically used by up to 150 different people,
each of whom typically use the one in the office where they are assigned on
that day.
We prefer "per machine" printer mappings, as this is very intuitive for the
users: "Hmmm... I'm in this office today and there is the printer...".
Some machines are mapped to a variety of printers because these are all in
the general area, and or some provide special features (i.e. colour).
Our users rarely feel a need to print to the printer near their office
regardless of where they were logging in. In those cases where this is the
case, we typically show them how to map manually.
Given the above, what would you think the most sensible approach?
