A print server is also considered when you have a printer that doesn't have
it's own NIC to attach to the network, you can purchase a print server to
accomplish this.  Basically it's a small piece of hardware that you can make
as a node on the network (assign an ip or whatever protocol you use) and
connect one to multiple printers to.
