Dear Confused, I have laser printers spread throughout my more than 40,000 square foot building. However I have all of my servers sitting in one room in the center. I'm not about to run even one IEEE 1284 cable 100ft out to each of those printers so they can be wired to "the ideal network printserver". Instead my building is wired with cat5.
Also, I don't have my clients connecting directly to each of the jet direct print servers. Instead the clients connect to a real server, which spools to the jet direct printers. At any time I can reconfigure the real server to point to different terminal print servers without modifying the clients.
