Print servers connect printers directly to the network so that multiple PCs can share them. Compared to attaching a printer directly to a PC, the print server provides more flexibility in placing the printer, more cost effectiveness, better performance, and simultaneous support for printing from a variety of operating system environments and different network protocols. Wireless print servers eliminate the cost of network cabling, and provide the flexibility to set up a printer in a convenient location. Wireless print servers can be integrated into other 802.11 devices, such as an access point, VPN, and firewall, providing an all-in-one solution for many small businesses.
