print server

Network printing coordinator

A print server is a device or software that manages print jobs sent from multiple computers to one or more printers on a network.

Rather than connecting a printer directly to each workstation, the print server receives requests, queues them, and routes them to available printers: The office print server went down, so nobody could print.
