Basically that's it what I would suggest to keep oneself out of getting trapped within inexplicable complications. Of course that workaround is primarily meant for what are "in practice single user" environments i.e. where a printer is usually used only by a single user at a time (which includes e.g. usual office use cases where users on client workstations use a particular printer only every now and then so in practice possibly conflicting printing tasks at the same time happen rarely).
