Print submission high availability

Print submission high availability provides server level protection to the print server and print spooler. The high availability solution in Equitrac ensures that there is always a print queue available for end users. When a user submits a print request to the print queue, the request is intercepted by DRE, and DRE forwards to request onto CAS for validation. The validated print request is sent back to DRE, and the job is sent to the printer.

In a highly available environment, the print request workflow is uninterrupted by having a redundant or backup DRE available in the event of a failure, and to distribute workload.
