The print server can operate either in print server mode
or in remote printer mode. Each print server should log into a
NetWare server before servicing the print jobs. Each print
server will occupy a user account with which it can log into
the NetWare server. A remote printer will not log into a
NetWare server; it will connect to a NetWare print server and
get the print jobs from the print server. A remote printer does
not occupy any user account. A NetWare print server can
control many remote printers; thus a print server account can
be shared to many remote printers as your requirement. But
the printing performance of a remote printer will be slower
than a print server‘s, because a remote printer does not get a
print job directly from the print queue, it gets a print job
from the print server. Summarize the comparison between a
print server and a remote printer as follows:
The Advantage of a Print Server
● Easy configuration.
● Better printing performance.
The Advantage of a Remote Printer
● Save user licenses.
NOTE: This remote printer feature is available for only
some models. Please see Section 1.2.
