Load Balancing Workflows
This software has been produced to work with Wasatch SoftRIP
and the Automation Option. The Automation option is an
extra-cost add on to Wasatch SoftRIP.
Load balancing is often needed for large pools of RIP's and identical
printers. There may be 30 copies of Wasatch SoftRIP running
120 printers, and a common need is to automatically find the
printer that has the least amount of work already queued up,
so that arriving jobs can be sent there.
For one simple way to integrate these scripts in a working system, take
a look at "Customized Hot Folders", and specifically, "Drive Load
Balancer from a Hot Folder."
