I am wanting to set up redundancy for a shared printer, the printers are network connected and shared from two servers (second is redundant), print jobs are spooled/managed from these servers. Ms doesn't recommend using NLB so haven't looked further down that route. My budget doesn't allow me to get a storage appliance to allow for clustering.

I wondered if anyone knows of a clever set-up that is transparent to the clients?

I am thinking along the lines of disabling "strict name checking" , use printmig and using DNS.

Anyone see why this shouldn't work or have a better idea?

 

Looking for redundancy for the print server.

I know I can have several printers on a pool

 

yeah that hows i want to do it but the budget doesn't stretch to storage devices and extra switches.
