how many printers should we have?
Now I know this is kind of a dumb/open question, as there really isn't any answer, but -- my boss asked me this question: "Is there an industry standard for a number of printers to a number of users?" A little info: We have about 140 clients on our network, located at 4 sites. Most clients are at one site, the other 3 are satellites. The larger of the satellites is complaining that one printer is insufficient in an area where there are 17 PCs.
Printing is almost 100% black-and-white, reports, letters, etc.
Most of our printers are LJ4000s, and a few newer ones like the 4300. At the present time we have about 16 printers on the network.
Any thoughts, help, recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
