Network Print Configurations
Peer To Peer
In a Peer To Peer environment, a printer driver is installed on a workstation that is
connected to a printer. The printer driver resides only on the workstation. In this
setup, workstation users maintain their own printer defaults and configurations,
allowing different printer settings for each user.
Through a Network Print Server
In a network print server environment, a printer driver is installed on a server and
shared with other servers and workstations on the network. The printer driver is
downloaded to the workstation from the server. In this network setup, a Network
Administrator generally maintains the printer defaults and configuration.
