Hi @paguin,

By “Print Manager”, I assume you are referring to Print Agent? If that is the case, then yes, you can install as many Print Agents as you need. Just make sure you don’t have the same logical printer mapped in multiple Print Agents. In other words, any given printer should only exist in only one Print Agent. 

If you are using the .Net Print Agent, then you would also have to specify different REST ports for each Print Agent. Please find the documentation here:

Hope this helps!
