On our 2003 servers, we seem to have about 180 printers before moving to the next server, thus we have a couple of servers per site. Not sure on any figures as to why 180 queues per server, as I suspect it was all part of the package when the printers were installed by Xerox. I have nothing to do with printers, other than using them :-)

I've just tried adding about 315 printer connections to a single (test) server and it seems to be struggling - to the stage where it no longer appears to be able to enumerate the printers in the Devices And Printers folder. I'm also starting to get a lot of "timeout" errors from the Spooler service in event viewer. Does anyone know if there is a hard limit to this?
