Increasing LDD print queue availability

Printer pooling provides a single print queue to several users and can prevent backups when large jobs are submitted.

1. From the Windows Control Panel, go to Devices and Printers, then right-click the printer, and then click Properties .

2. Click the Ports tab, and then click Change Port Settings .

3. Select Enable printer pooling , and then add a Lexmark Document Server port.

4. Select the Lexmark Document Server port that is created for the selected printer, and then click Next .

5. Select the profile used for the port that is created for the selected printer, and then click Next .

   Notes:

   • LDD printer port prompting is not supported on print servers. If it is configured on a print server, then the spooler stops responding when print jobs start going into the print server. Prompting profiles must be used only on client computers.
   • If the server is running multiple jobs, then profiles on the server may not appear in the list. Wait until the server is not busy, and then try adding the port again.

6. Follow the instructions on the screen.

   Note:  You can add more Lexmark Document Server ports, and then add them to the same profile.

7. Click Finish .
