If you have the printer set up in the corporate office, then the print job will go to that server first before it will go to the printer.
"Print directly to the printer" means that the print job will not be spooled by Windows before being sent to the printer. I have used this when printing to such things as a POS receipt printer where you don't want the print job delayed but to be printed immediately.

Subject: Does "Print directly to the printer" do what it implies? Hi all, Does using the printer setting "Print directly to the printer" do what it implies? Do print jobs get directed to the printer directly or is the print server somehow acting as a relay? He is why it matters. I have a small office that has no print server to use. They use a VPN to connected to the corporate office. If I configure a printer on the corporate office's print server to print directly to a printer in the small office, will a print job submitted in the small office generate traffic to the print server in the corporate office and relay it back to the printer, or will the print job go directly to the printer? I hope that's clear? We initially have them set up printing to the printer use Standard TCP/IP ports, but it's difficult to manage the printers and workstations that way. We would like to utilize "Point and print" for this office to make everyone's life easier. Thanks.
