Active/active printcluster

[MarkMeerten]

I want to setup an active/active cluster configured as a printserver:

Specs:
--------
1 cluster (PrintserverMain)
2 nodes (PS1 & PS2)

All users print to \\PrintserverMain\[printername]

printjobs for printers 1 tot 100 should be handeled by PS1 and printjobs for printers 101 to 200 by PS2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can I establish this?

All users print to \\PrintserverMain\[printername]"

You use an active/passive cluster. You only have one virtual server as part of your requirements definition.

Sorry i explained it wrong i guess.
When i use Active/Passive only 1 node(server) gets all the workload. On Active/Active both nodes get a part of the workload. Or am i wrong on that?

That's correct, however you'll need two virtual servers. VS1 running on node 1 for 1-100, and vs2 running on node 2 for 101-200. Users will print to vs1\printername or vs2\printername.
