Ensuring a reliable print infrastructure without an advanced spooling product can be difficult. Learn how you can avoid downtime, troubleshooting, and other system hiccups by using advanced print spooler software.
2. Printing Problems and the Help Desk
Organizations rely on printing for execution of their core business
processes. But, ensuring a reliable print infrastructure without an
advanced spooling product can be difficult.
As a matter of fact, 40% of Help Desk Calls are related to printing
problems (Source: HP). At this volume, printing problems quickly
add cost
delay access to important documents
consume support resources

3. The Source of Printer Problems
The native, operating system (O/S) based spooling system is a “fire and forget”
technology.
Jobs spooled through native O/S spooling systems are instantly deleted from the spooling
systems once sent to the printer. With an O/S spooler, you get:
no bi-directional communications capabilities
no print confirmation
limited trouble shooting tools
no reprint
no fail-over
no user friendly monitor
In addition, there are scalability and reliability issues with these native spooling systems,
especially in Windows.
This makes the Sys Admin and Help Desk’s job very difficult.
