Printer server scalability and sizing

A Microsoft technical paper overviews several key factors that influence the capacity of a given print
server configuration. While this paper cannot provide a predictive formula to determine the printing
throughput of a given configuration, it does describe several reference systems and their capacity. This
paper also presents the information necessary to help the system administrator or capacity planner
estimate, and later monitor, their server workload. The current version of this paper is maintained at
http://www.microsoft.com/printserver.

Backup

It is recommended that you back up the print server configuration whenever a new printer is added to the
network and the print server configuration is modified. For details on implementing the backup solution,
refer to the Medium Business Guide for Backup and Recovery. The guide can be viewed or downloaded
from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/smbiz/mits/br/mit_br.mspx.
The Print Migrator utility is recommended as a print-specific alternative to backing up print configuration
settings on the print server or File Print Appliance. The Print Migrator utility is located in the
C:\hpnas\Components\PrintMigrator folder on the storage server or File Print Appliance.
