Print jobs 1, 2, and 3 spool to printers 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Print job 4 goes to the printer with the least amount of data printed to it.

  • When to use: Best used when you have multiple printers that are similar in print speed or paper tray size, and job sizes that are not consistent.
  • Destination Selection: The least used destination is attempted first.
  • Failure Handling: The destination that is the least used not counting the failed destination.
