Printer management and printer accounting has become more and
more important in the modern business environment.
Print Server Appliance
A print server manages print spooling, drivers, queues, network traffic and reduces the workload on your regular server. Localized print servers will allow people to continue to print while the main server is offline. For offices with many printers and copiers, you can update all the print drivers in the corporate network by simply updating the drivers on the print server, which in turn updates the drivers on all shared PCs. Print servers tend to be far less expensive than normal servers as they require no license fees.

HP Web Jetadmin is a simple web based utility that allows the
LAN Administrators to install, configure, and remotely manage
