Thanks. &nbsp;That's basically what I was thinking. &nbsp;But am I right that there really isn't any other solution for this? &nbsp;I either set up a separate computer as a print server or I go with three individual RJ-45 to USB printer cards/servers? &nbsp;Somehow it just doesn't seem right....

Thanks. &nbsp;I'm already preparing an extra workstation. &nbsp;I think that'll be the best solution.

I'm embarassed I can't figure this out. &nbsp;I have three label printers that I want to hook up to my network. &nbsp;Ideally, I would attach some kind of network device (HP JetDirect Print Server?) to the network (running SBS2003 over Ethernet) and plug in my three label printers via USB cables. &nbsp;But I just can't figure it out. &nbsp;We print only occassionally to these printers, but I was hoping to NOT have them next to a stand alone computer. &nbsp;I don't want to buy three individual network devices (RJ-45 to a single USB 2.0 port) -- it seems inefficient. &nbsp;I also don't want to buy a $4,000 enterprise print server. &nbsp;I'm sure I'm missing something -- any ideas?

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
