If I have multiple users sharing these printers isn't it best to send print jobs to the spooler instead of directly to the printers?</div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>A central server can make it easy to provide drivers, accounting, access control, guaranteed level of service, etc., however there is nothing wrong with printing directly - you'll actually get the prints out faster and on small networks it is usually simpler as well.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>Ok, will do. You mentioned drivers -- can the driver be installed on the print server and not have to install a driver on the clients? I thought the clients all needed drivers. That would be helpful (as we have dozens of printers are work).<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>For CUPS shared printers, the drivers are all on the server and the client just grabs the PPD file to display the driver options. All conversion/processing happens on the server.</div><div><br></div><div>
