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. |
