Scaling for NDDPrintHost and NDDPrintAgent
The information in the table below is intended for scenarios with the NDD Print Host and NDD Print Agent modules, which use at least one of the options:
Accounting via spool;
Quotas and/or printing policies.

It is recommended to use server processors, as they have substantial differences compared to a desktop processor.
The variables that include this scenario took into account the average value of 3 users printing simultaneously, with documents from 1 to 10 pages, and average size from 470KB to 4.388KB per print job (NPL/NSL).
