Hi all,<br />
<br />
Does anyone know whether there is a limit or recommended number of print queues one can have on a Win2008 Virtual server?<br />
<br />
We have hundreds of print queues on our print server with thousands of users submitting print jobs, and multiple printer models installed meaning lots of different printer drivers.<br />
<br />
The print spooler service stops periodically and some print queues just wont allow to print. We have a night script which flushes out the print queues and restarts the spool service, but I don't think this is the best was to stabilise our print environment.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking the number of print queues might be hurting us?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Limit of print queues on Win2008 server

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
