A printer pool allows multiple identical printers (same model and driver) managed by a single Print manager to share the print workload. Users install one printer from the pool; the Print manager then redirects jobs to idle printers within the pool to balance the load.
For example, in a printer pool with four printers, if the first printer is handling a 100-page job, the next print job is sent to the second printer. If the second printer completes its task while the first printer is still busy, the next job is directed to the third printer, ensuring efficient distribution of print jobs. Printer pools are specific to the Print manager and cannot span multiple Print managers.
