Chapter 5 Overview

Print Job Servers

In most larger networks, print jobs usually are managed by designating one protocol and method for printing and then designating specific computers as print job servers, rather than by directing any host running any protocol to the networked printer resource. Computers designated as print job servers have large hard disk space to store print data and spool management software. All clients direct their print job to the computer designated as the print job server rather than the printer; therefore, the client to print job server network protocol used might not be the same as the print job server to LineJet Print Server.

Large network environments today are generally TCP/IP or Novell network protocols or a mixture of the two.

Common examples of larger networks utilizing the LineJet Printer and Print Server:

Many Windows 95/98 clients directing print jobs to an NT server. The Windows 95/98 clients, NT server, and LineJet printer might or might not be in the same physical location, building, or even country. The LineJet printer is located based on where its output is needed, not where the jobs originate. Remote printer management tools (LineJet Printer Manager, SNMP, etc.) give the same ability to the administrator today that networking provided in the past.

Windows 95/98, NT, Novell network client computers direct output to a Unix® machine designated as the print job server which spools and manages print jobs. The designated print server could be an

HP e3000, IBM AS/400, Unix (or Linux), or Novell machine.
