Print servers connect printers to networks. This lets many users access printers from their
own workstations, a very cost effective way to share powerful and expensive printers. It is not
necessary to buy an extra personal computer to attach each printer to the network. You use
the print server instead.
Environments we support
Print servers support an extraordinarily wide range of network environments.
Any single print server on any given physical network can accept and process print jobs from
any or all of these logical networks concurrently. For example, if a MarkNet XI physically
attaches a printer to an Ethernet network, then a NetWare client and an AppleTalk user can
send print jobs to the printer simultaneously. The print jobs are processed on a first-come,
first-served basis.
