Print Server: Smart Printing Made Simple
A print server is a device or software application that connects printers to a network, allowing multiple users to access and share printing resources. Instead of connecting a printer directly to each computer, the print server acts as a central hub that receives print jobs, manages queues, and sends data to the appropriate printer.
How a Print Server Works
When a user sends a document to print, the request is routed to the print server rather than directly to the printer. The print server stores the job temporarily, organizes it in a queue, and forwards it to the printer when ready. This process ensures smooth printing, even when several users send jobs at the same time.
