Increasing LDD print queue availability using printer pooling

You can use printer pooling for an LDD print queue on a print server in order to efficiently provide a single print queue
to several users and avoid backups when large jobs are submitted.
1
In the printers control panel in Windows, right‑click an LDD print queue, and then click Properties.
Note: When using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 with User Account Control enabled, click Run as
administrator > Properties.
2
Click the Ports tab.
3
Select Enable printer pooling.
4
Click Add Port.
Select Lexmark Document Server Port ‑ Enterprise, and then click New Port.
5
6
Type a name for the new port, and then click Next.
Note: The port name must be 75 characters or fewer.
7
Select the same Lexmark Document Server used for the initial port created for the selected LDD printer, and then
click Next.
8
Select the same profile used for the initial port created for the selected LDD printer, and then click Next.
Note: If the server is currently running a large number of jobs, then profiles on the server may not appear in the
list. Wait until the server is not as busy, and then try adding the port again.
9
Click Finish, and then click Close to close the Printer Ports window.
The new port appears and is selected in the port list in the printer properties window.

Repeat steps 4 through 9 to create additional Lexmark Document Server Printer Ports, assigning each port to the
same profile.

Make sure all the newly created ports are selected in the ports list
