Which of the following is TRUE with regards to printer pooling? (Choose all that apply.)

B.
Each printer in the pool must have a different printer driver.

D.

E.

Explanation:
You can create a printing pool to automatically distribute print jobs to the next available printer. A printing pool is
one logical printer connected to multiple printers through multiple ports of the print server. The printer that is idle
receives the next document sent to the logical printer. This is useful in a network with a high volume of printing
because it decreases the time users wait for their documents. A printing pool also simplifies administration
because multiple printers can be managed from the same logical printer on a server.
