Print Server Administration User’s Guide
Introduction
5
This arrangement allows a large number of people to share
printers, and makes it possible to centrally manage the printers and
their print queues.
This method has several disadvantages, however:
It increases the load on the file server.
The file server has a limited number of printer ports
available.
If printers are attached to the file server, then they have to be
located near the server instead of near the users, which may
be inconvenient.
If printers are attached to user workstations, then print jobs
will be delayed or printed more slowly as they are sent to the
workstation.
The remote printer software used on the
workstation may also be incompatible with other software
used on the workstation.
