Load Balance Windows Print servers with LTM

Question

I have been trying to configure the load balancing with LTM for windows 2012 print servers. The file explorer opens but still not all the printers are listed, and the listed printers are not connecting either. Please help if any procedure to follow for load balancing the print servers.&nbsp;
Thanks,
Arjun&nbsp;

Hi Arjun,&nbsp;
Microsoft does not support load-balanced Windows Print Servers and F5 does not provide a verified solution. So you're pretty much on your own if something goes wrong...&nbsp;

The good news is, that the folks from Kemp created a verified solution for load-balanced Windows Print Servers and made the documentation public available...&nbsp;

The load balancing part isn't rocket science, so it should be easily adopted by using F5 LTM as a load balancer. &nbsp;
Cheers, Kai&nbsp;
