Greetings,
I work in a hospital and we're planning to (finally) implement print servers. One question we're looking at is the logical division of print servers or using a clustered solution.
Another question is how to organise the access to these printers/print servers. There's the possibility to limit the access to the printers using AD groups, the possibility to work with location based printing, etc.
Our main issue is; we have people that only work at their one computer, we have roaming users that log in on different desktops, we have roaming users that bring their portable and we have users that use VDI. Ideally we'd want someone that roams to another
location to have their printer installed when he arrives there, or atleast gets his default printer set. For VDI we've found a solution for this, but not for the other users. We could give access rights and automatically install printers to a user, but also
to a computer. However we don't want to make it too complex to maintain the environment and keep it orderly, the server environment has to be easely manageable and clients shouldn't have too many printers installed if they roam alot.
So we're wondering how other companies in similar situations have implemented their print servers.
