Is it better to setup lots of small print servers or one big print
server?
I've currently got 1 print server serving up about 55 printers. All
the server does is Samba and CUPS the box has 2 2.8gig P4 xeon, 2
gigs of RAM and a load average of 3. Which is way to high since
users are complaining about slow print performance. I went with this
solution because I didn't like the idea of having 2,3, or 4 servers
just for printing but now I'm wondering if having multiple boxes
isn't the better solution. The other thought I had was splitting the
box by moving cups to it own server.
Any opinions,
Derek
