Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012. Server1 has the Print and
Document Services server role installed.
You connect a new print device to the network. The marketing department and the sales department will use
the print device.
You need to provide users from both departments with the ability to print to the network print device.The
solution must ensure that if there are multiple documents queued to print, the documents from the sales users
print before the documents from the marketing users.
What should you do on Server1?
A.
Add two printers. Modify the priorities of each printer and the security settings of each printer.
B.
Add two printers and configure printer pooling.
C.
Add one printer and configure printer pooling.
D.
Add one printer. Modify the printer priority and the security settings.
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738090(v=ws.10).aspx To set different print priority to
different groups Open Printers and Faxes.
Right-click the printer you want to set, click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab. In Priority, click the up
or down arrows, and then click OK.
Or, type a priority level, where 1 is the lowest level and 99 is the highest, and then click OK. ClickAdd Printer to
add a second logical printer for the same physical printer. For instructions, see Related Topics.
Click the Advanced tab.
In Priority, set a priority higher than that of thefirst logical printer. Instruct the regular group of users to use the
first logical printer name and the group with higher priority to use the second logical printer name. Set the
appropriate permissions for the different groups.
Answer should be D.
What is the point of having two independent printers added to a server and trying to set individual priorities?
So you can setup priority on each printer for separate departments or group of users.
Actually 2 logical printers (targeting the physical one) are added in order to use the queue priority. Answer A is correct.

Click Add Printer to add a second logical printer for the same physical printer.
I believe we need indeed 2 logical printers.

A.
You gain no benefits just from setting a priority to a printer. You need to set at least two different logical printers for the same physical printer to take advantage of this option.
