Cluster Printers 2008 "Bad Beagle" <maxwelli[ at ]nospam.postalias> 12/18/2008 5:10:28 PM I currently have 2 windows 2003 print servers. I would like to put all the printers on one server and then cluster them. In the end I would like them to be in a windows 2008 64 bit print cluster. I am in the planning stages and am wondering what will have to the existing printers that are installed on the users workstations (xp). Will all the printers have to be reinstalled? What name is the printer addressed by in the cluster?
