Hi,

I'm running a smallish network, 50 computers, 9 servers and about 26
printers. Most everyone needs access to about half of the printers. What
is the best way to accomplish this?

Currently I have two servers setup with printers installed and shared and
then I attach the workstations to those shares. This was working Ok for a
while but now the spooler on one of my servers keeps crashing and I'm not
sure why. It was suggested that I need to update the printer drivers but
I
already have the latest printer drivers installed and have basically the
same drivers installed on each server. The other server is running just
fine so far.

I'm thinking the best way to solve this is to setup a new server and
migrate
the printers over to it, hopefully finding or simply replacing the corrupt
driver along the way.

But that got me thinking.... Is there a better way to deploy printers?
Keep
in mind that only a few of my users actually have their own computer, most
move around from computer to computer from day to day and having them
install their own printers is not practical.

Guess I'm wondering, how would you handle this situation?

Thanks in advance,
Linn
