Find Me printing solves the problem of finding the closest printer from a long list
of available printers. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find
users based on their physical location. It's sometimes referred to as "Pull Printing",
"Push Printing" or "Follow Me" printing. It's a great solution for large sites operating
a common printer fleet.
Location Aware
Users simply print to a single global virtual queue, and through the use of
print
release stations PaperCut NG knows which printers are nearby, and can pick the best
one without bothering the user with the details.

Load Balanced
Where multiple local printers are available intelligent load balancing algorithms
determine the best candidate based on factors such as printer load and error conditions.
