Figure 2-2. Typical print server installation.

Because the print server supports IPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk network protocols, any networked computer can directly connect to the print server from any of its installed protocols. IPX and TCP/IP protocols are shown in Figure 2-3; however, the AppleTalk protocol is not shown in the figure. The shaded areas trace the data path from the installed workstations to the printer.
