Re: Zero Configuration Printers in Terminal Room

[Jim Martin <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    While Stewart is absolutely 100% correct from a technical  
standpoint, we'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that. We very  
specifically didn't advertise the addresses of the printers directly,  
but rather pointed everyone at a print spooler. This is for several  
reasons. First, this gives the terminal room staff more of an ability  
to clear out large or broken jobs if something goes awry. Secondly,  
it allows for a much deeper queue, should a big job or two come in at  
a peek printing time. Finally, the Terminal_Room_Printers queue  
distributes jobs across both printers.

    So, if making those few extra clicks don't overtax people too  
much, we'd greatly appreciate following the instructions as distributed.

    Thanks!
