Dependencies
The PrintShare agents work together to make a shared network printer highly
available. The PrintSpool agent provides high availability for a print spooler and
the PrintShare agent makes a network printer highly available.
The PrintSpool agent makes a print spooler highly available and binds it to the
virtual computer. It ensures that spooling does not occur locally. The agent is
used in conjunction with the PrintShare agent to make a print server highly
available. You can configure only one PrintSpool resource for one virtual computer.

operation. It also requires the Print Spooler service configured as a ServiceMonitor
resource.
