CUPS vs Sun vs LPRng [How many printers do you need]CUPS vs Sun vs LPRng [How many printers do you need]Posted Jul 19, 2007 17:32 UTC (Thu) by smoogen (subscriber, #97)In reply to: CUPS vs Sun vs LPRng by bkw1a Parent article: Apple buys cups
In an enterprise setting, I see about 10 new printers a day (some are just moved from one network to another but its a lot of changes that seem to occur). Some organizations I have worked for have had 2-3 different printers on each desktop [black & white laster, color inkjet, special printer for slides]. People have made it a work habit to print out a copy of the legal forms etc over on Jack's printer in finance for his report etc etc.
Yes its a phenomenal waste of resources, money, paper, etc... but the problem occurs that when people are not comfortable with technology, they want an environment that they assured has a lot of redundency (in this case printers) in case they cant get something done by that unplanned meeting at 4pm.
