question
Describe EMF
answer
Enhanced Metafile (EMF) is a standardized, highly portable print job format that is the default format used by the Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 print subsystems. Client print driver creates an EMF file and sends it to the Print Server The print server stores the EMF filein the spooler. The spooler then uses the printer driver on the print server to render the job into the final PCL format understood by the print device.

question
Define a Printer Pool
answer
A single printer connected to multiple print devices, creating a printer pool. Explanation On a busy network with many print clients, the print server can distribute large numbers of incoming jobs among several identical print devices to provide more timely service and fault tolerance. Advanced Print Pooling You can connect multiple print servers to a single print device. By creating multiple print servers, you can configure different priorities, security settings, auditing, and monitoring parameters for different users. For example, you can create a high-priority print server for company executives, whereas junior users send their jobs to a lower- priority server. This ensures that the executives' jobs are printed first, even if the servers are both connected to the same print device
