share the machine for printing. The print server and clients do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a Windows 2000/XP print server, or vice versa.

You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.

If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged into the server.
