• Peer-to-Peer Printing Using TCP/IP
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer sends and receives data directly to and from each device. There is
no central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
• Network Shared Printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of
computer is often called a "Server" or a "Print Server". Its job is to control all print jobs.
