I have a canon i865 printer but want to add another
printer, if I add a canon s9000 will the printer pooling
function in XP work or will I have to select the printer?

Thanks,

Bek.
 
Printer pooling assumes that both printers are the same model or both will
work off a common data stream. Unfortunately Canon (along with every other
printer manufacturer) don't give much info on this so I think the only way
you are going to find out is if you try it.

Also be aware the pooling function isn't as clever as most people assume,
the jobs will always go to the first port in the list unless its already
busy, you can't balance the load without some 3rd party software.
