the printer in a secure location protects these documents.
Because most printers are already network-enabled, the most common type of
network setup includes printers attached directly to the network. This allows
the printer to be placed in a convenient location for all users, and places it
away from the server for security reasons. Users who use the printer normally
will not have access to the server console. Security is still maintained by
