The correct answer is C. No, you can't load two instances of the iPrint Manager software on the same server. Only one instance of the iPrint Manager NLM can be loaded on a single server at a time, so separate managers must run on separate servers.

Server Management and Maintenance

Question

Click the Exhibit button to begin. You are configuring an iPrint system for your company. Your Vice President's office is on the same floor as the offices of several design engineers. The Vice President has her own private printer for printing confidential documents. The design engineers have a high-end color laser printer that they share. You've decided to use your DA1 server to provide iPrint services. To keep confidential print jobs separate from regular print jobs, you decide to create two iPrint Manager objects in the eDirectory tree and load two instances of the iPrint Manager on DA1 to support each Manager object. Will this configuration work?

Options

  • AYes, all iPrint requirements have been met.
  • BNo, iPrint doesn't support color laser printers in the current release.
  • CNo, you can't load two instances of the iPrint Manager software on the same server.
  • DNo, the iPrint Manager software shouldn't be loaded on server that is also providing file storage services.
  • ENo, the iPrint Manager software is only needed if the printers are connected directly to server LPT ports

Why each option

Only one instance of the iPrint Manager NLM can be loaded on a single server at a time, so separate managers must run on separate servers.

AYes, all iPrint requirements have been met.

The configuration will not work because the one-instance-per-server limitation makes loading two iPrint Manager instances on DA1 impossible.

BNo, iPrint doesn't support color laser printers in the current release.

iPrint has no documented restriction against color laser printers; printer type does not affect compatibility.

CNo, you can't load two instances of the iPrint Manager software on the same server.Correct

The iPrint Manager (the NLM that hosts printer agents) is architecturally limited to one running instance per physical server. Attempting to load a second instance to support a second Manager object is not supported by the software. To achieve the isolation described, two separate servers would each need to host their own iPrint Manager instance.

DNo, the iPrint Manager software shouldn't be loaded on server that is also providing file storage services.

There is no requirement that prevents the iPrint Manager from running on a server that simultaneously provides file and storage services.

ENo, the iPrint Manager software is only needed if the printers are connected directly to server LPT ports

The iPrint Manager is required for managing all printer agents regardless of physical printer connection type, not only for printers attached to LPT ports.

Concept tested: iPrint Manager single-instance-per-server limitation
