It is not just the active clients that affect a printer server. In some cases, passive users can also cause a server to show an increase in loads. For instance, when a user has a print job, he/she establishes a connection with the server, invoking a spooler activity and subsequently, the system resources are allocated immediately. On some occasions, while establishing a connection to the server for a print job, the user may unintentionally not terminate the application on their workstation. This may hold the connections open for many hours, even after the job is completed. Here, the print server can become constrained due to the number of clients that are connected passively when the client forgets to terminate the connection.
