This chapter explains how to use the internet/print server as a net-
work print server.

Print Server Features

Print servers improve network printing services in three ways:
They pick up the workload of managing print file traffic to
connected printers. This provides workload relief to file serv-
ers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be used for file
access or other direct services to network users.
The internet/print server's IEEE 1284 compliant, high-speed,
bi-directional parallel printer port can transmit to high-speed
laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. A
high-speed laser printer can thus be used at its full capacity.
Because the internet/print server is very portable and inexpen-
sive compared to a PC-based print server, the printer can be
stationed at the location of maximum convenience to users.
The internet/print server's print server functionality offers extraor-
dinary flexibility, operating with most major network operating
systems and protocols:
