Same here, we use VM for the print servers and nobody is complaining. NO
need to have print servers
have a BIG problem.

Disc space could be more of a concern if for instance you were using ps

to have print servers on physical hardware when you got VM's

I don't know of a formula, but I can tell you that our print server is
handling about 150 printers and 1600 users on 1GB of RAM
I don't know of a formula, but I can tell you that our print
server is handling about 150 printers and 1600 users on 1GB of
RAM and 1 CPU. No joke. It's a VM, and nobody's complaining
about print performance. Total commit charge is about 600MB
right now; There's little sign that more RAM is need
Basically we run out Print servers on ESX VM's. I have about 200-250
printers per server.
Here are the specs.
8GB of Disk ( spool the files and such)
1GIG of RAM (512MB for OS, and 512MB for applications to run in)
Processor ( 2.0GHZ or higher)
