Pooling Printers

Printer pools work like this: If you have more than one printer on your network, or maybe a couple of printers that are similar, you can group them together in a printer pool. When you choose a pool instead of a single printer to output a document from any application, your Mac figures out which printer is available and sends your document there.

Hereis how to set up a printer pool:

  • Launch Printer Setup Utility. You can find it in Applications/Utilities.
  • Select the printers from the Printer List window that you want to add to the pool (Shift-click to select printers that are together in the list. Command-click to select printers that arenit together.).

  • Select the printers you want to pool.
