&nbsp; &nbsp; I am very new to print servers and am having a hard time understanding how and why to make one. &nbsp;We currently have all of our printers networked with standard TCP/IP port. &nbsp;We have 3 servers that our users work on(about 70) and I am suppose to make a print server to improve performance. &nbsp;I setup the server and I think I was adding printers to it. &nbsp;I would log onto that server and go into printers and faxes and add printers that way. &nbsp;However I don't know if the printers I am putting on the print server are actually running the print jobs now. &nbsp;I still don't understand hardly anything that I am doing, but I am learning. &nbsp;Can anyone give me some information on how to setup the server and/or some information about what exactly it will do for me. &nbsp;Very new, my apologies.

How to setup a Windows 2003 print server and transfer from networked printer setup?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD).
