Users in a home environment mostly print to a local printer directly attached to their home computer. In a business environment, client computers often print to a centralized print server that forwards the print jobs to a print device. Network printing or print sharing allows several people to send documents to a centrally located printer or similar device in an office so that you do not have to connect expensive printers to every single computer in the office. By using a print server, the network administrator can centrally manage all printers and print devices.
