What are the advantages and disadvantages associated with a dedicated print server?

What will be an ideal response?


The advantage of a dedicated print server is that you can network one or more printers that do not have network interfaces, thus capitalizing on your prior investment in printers. Also, it provides a means to connect multiple printers using one device. The disadvantage is that if the dedicated print server malfunctions, all of the printers connected to it are out of service. Also, there is the time and expense of purchasing the dedicated print server and configuring its print services.
