A Introduction to Network Printing Network Printing Configurations Networks consist of computers connected together to share information and resources, such as printers. On a "client-server" network, client computers send print jobs to dedicated server computers that control the use of each printer. On a "peer-to-peer" network, dedicated servers are not used. Instead, each computer is configured to send print jobs to the printer directly. Figure A-1 Basic Network Printing Configurations Peer-to-Peer printing Client-Server printing Server Client-server printing is typically used in medium to large networks where dedicated servers are used to manage printing needs of many users. Client-server networks use network operating systems (NOS) such as Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Server. Peer-to-peer printing is more suitable for smaller networks. On peer-to-peer networks, each user configures his Microsoft system to print directly to the printer. ENWW Introduction to Network Printing 27

Introduction to Network Printing
Network Printing Configurations
Networks consist of computers connected together to share
information and resources, such as printers. On a “client-server”
network, client computers send print jobs to dedicated server
computers that control the use of each printer. On a “peer-to-peer”
network, dedicated servers are not used. Instead, each computer
is configured to send print jobs to the printer directly.

Basic Network Printing Configurations
Client-server printing is typically used in medium to large networks
where dedicated servers are used to manage printing needs of many
users. Client-server networks use network operating systems
(NOS) such as Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows NT/2000
Server.
Peer-to-peer printing is more suitable for smaller networks.
On peer-to-peer networks, each user configures his Microsoft
system to print directly to the printer.
