I have 20 nos of L300 device,each client has its own printer.The problem is that when I connect two printers of same model say hp laser jet 2014 on two different clients ,the printer does not work it shows an error on printing,but single printer works fine.I am using windows server 2003 r3. Plz solve my problem as I m in research organisation and there is lots of printing work in organisation

The way the NComputing solution works, all the users are sharing the same host. So when you connect two printers, it's as if two printers are connected to that one host PC. When suing the USB port on the L300 you may have issues every time the device disconnects (like when a user logs off from their session) because the printer and it's respective port may have to be re-enumerated by the host. If possible, it might be better to do network printers. Also, when installing the printers, especially if you have the same make and model, make sure to LABEL them with unique names, i.e. Printer1, Printer2, etc. Otherwise, the host may have difficulty, more so the user, knowing which printer is 'theirs'.
