Without Print Service

Providing shared printers to your users, even without using a server, is relatively

easy: connect the printers to your network and let individual users choose the printer

that best suits their needs.

When a user prints a document, the resulting print job waits in a queue on the user’s

computer until the printer is ready to accept the job (in common printing terminology,

you say the job is “spooled to a queue”).

Although this way of providing access to printers is easy to set up, it has the following

disadvantages:

• Users need to be sure their jobs have finished printing before they can turn off their

computers or, in the case of mobile clients, disconnect their computers from the

network.

• Error messages from the printer (for example, “out of paper” or “paper jam”) go

directly to the user currently printing.

• It is difficult for you, as administrator, to keep track of or control how many pages are

printed by individual users.
