Chris,

Good answer, and the first.

Our reason for asking is that we have a customer with a number of sales
regions, and each region has a large 3K.  They want all the network printers
in every region to be configured into every 3K.  They were thinking each
printer should be the same ldev on each box, we're suggesting relaxing that
to say each printer is the same device class on each box.

Then we started researching the limitations.

Seems like, you can't have max sessions (if each session consumes and ldev)
on a really big box and still have enough room left for a bunch of network
printers, some disc drives, etc.

Comments?
