Printing with dedicated print servers

To minimize server load during printing and utilize the advantages of central manage-
ment, dedicated print servers are usually setup on the server side. This is also pos-
sible with HP Blade PCs. In this scenario, print data is sent via TCP/IP . Also, .print
Engine is installed on the dedicated print server instead of on the HP Blade PCs; the
dedicated print server as well as all HP Blade PCs require licensing (Illus. 4).
