array and printing

We have an array composed of 2 servers.We use windows NT 4 printer (an LPR-compatible TCP/IP printer) on the application server and we know tha we cannotuse distributed printing.If the client logs on the secondary array server the server doesn't print, which is the problem?

NT4 (LPR) . . . not many using that anymore . . . you might have to create an LPR queue for each SSGD server. If your LPR queue is pointing to the primary server then that's the only server you can print to. What version of SSGD are you using?

We have to use LPR because the application needs it.

We can't create a queue for EACH SSDG server-->

this is our architecture: a load balancer that decides on which ssgd server customer will log in; 2 or 3 SSGD servers and 6 application servers.

Our application servers must have only one printer configured, so that customers don't have to choose it (because they don't know on which server they're logged in).

i'm afraid, unless someone else has another idea, you'll be stuck with printing from the primary or which ever server you define in your LPR/TCP config on the NT 4 server.

Moving to Windows 2000 or 2003 and SSGD v4.2/4.3 would give you distributed printing with either RDP or PDF printing.
