| If a laser printer is network ready, does that mean that it neccessarily has an internal print server, or do they come with a network interface and require that a box on the network take the role as printer server? | |

| My definition of network ready is the definition that HP and Xerox use. You go to the control panel, plug in a IP address and plug in a patch cable. | |

| In such a scenario where is the print server? Is each ws managing its own queue? | |

| There are several different ways.
You can set up one of the computers to act as a print server or install the drivers seperatly on each workstation. | |

| Do u remember those network printer come with memory?
They are there for a reason.
It is more easier to setup LAN than the old time. However, more difficult to troubleshoot.. | |

| For me, I'm expecting a network ready printer to be equipped with its own print server. I just have to plug it in to the network, configure the IP, and ready to use it. | |
