When to Use a Print Server

Overview Using direct IP connections to share printers may be sufficient for the printing needs of a small office or in those office configurations are not large enough, or complex enough, to require a dedicated system administrator. However, as offices and users grow, there likely will come a time when sharing printers using print servers will be more effective and less complicated than sharing them using direct IP connections. Using a print server to share and manage printers, offers many advantages to both the end user and the administrator as the number of users grows and may also offer a way to avoid many of the problems experienced with direct IP printer connections in larger environments.
