I just spent the last three days working at a company... helping them with their computers and network.
However, IMO the entire network was setup very stupid. My question is about the printers though..
First of all, there are three locations. They each have about 10 printers throughout the building. All of the printers except a few are using HP Jetdirect setups. From there, every workstation has all of the jetdirect printers setup as a "local" printer. Meaning, there is no print server.
Am I missing something or is this ideal?
I would setup one system as a print server, and install all the printers on it, and share them. Then I'd install the printers on the workstations as network printers.
Which is the best way?
