Does NDPS support multiple printer on one agent?

[SirAldemar]

We would like to set up a single NDPS print device for our users but have several printers being serviced. This will allow print jobs to go through much faster for a busy environment.

You only need one broker for every 5 hops on your network
You will place managers were ever you want
NDPS Managers can manage as many printers as you wish (I think the max is 256)
There will however be a different Gateway for each different printer manafacture. All HP printers will use the HP Gateway, all Xerox printers will use to Xerox gateway and so on. If you don't have or can't find a gateway for your printer but it does support IP, try the Novell gateway that is built into the NDPS Manager. Brent Schmidt CNE, Network +

I am thinking that I have not explained myself very well.

I want my users to be able to print to a device that will forward the job to one of many available printers.

I.E. User serr printer ENG in his list and selects it for printing. There are 3 printers assigned to this device so the print job will print at any of these printers.
