The pool model
Like the default destination configuration model, the pool destination configuration
model has a one-to-many relationship between a logical destination and two or
more actual destinations.
This model is very effective when you have output devices that you want to group
together based on factors such as location, capability, speed, and capacity. You
might also want to group them based on who uses them or who manages the
output they generate. For example, access to a specific group of printers can be
restricted to members of the billing department. Moreover, different types of
