Does anyone know the limit to the number of printers which
can run on one print server, (Windows 2000), I've just
gone over the 200 mark and I would like to know if there
is a limitation of say 256 or something like that, any
infor would be gratefully received.
 
we run 500+ printqueue on our w2k printservers...
Check your MaxRpcSize if you begin to get rpc call errors...

There's no hard limit... but performance will depend on specs of your server
and things like the size of the print jobs and the number of different
drivers you have installed.

(for Server 2003, but basically the same for 2000)
