What is a Print Server?

Asked By Junrell 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/30/2011

I have heard about a device called Print Server that you can use in your home network. I have no idea what the device would do or how it could be useful to me. So what is a Print Server? How will I set it up with my printer?
I may not be right if a home needs a print server but anyways need to learn about it

A Print Server is a server in which the Printer is connected and the default drivers is installed on this Server. In many companies, they have only one Print Server, and  most of the time, it is with the File Server. It Serves as the main way to connect to a printer. Any PC can actually be a Print Server, it is done by simply enable sharing and you will now have a Printer Server. To setup, just simply install the printers you need to share on the Printer Server and then just access it with other PC within you network. if you have more than one PC in your house and only have on printer. You don't want to transfer file to another pc before you can print.
