samba (smb) printers

there is no mention of samba print servers, (typically?) a windows computer with a printer installed (usually locally, but it could also be one of the aforementioned protocols or a third-party / proprietary protocol), which shares its printer via windows share

little boxes

Print servers, as mostly described in the article, most often spool data, allowing the source to dump all to the server. They also allow various processing, when needed, such as PostScript interpreting. But the little boxes commonly used for connecting parallel, serial, or USB ports to Ethernet commonly don't do any of those things. They are just converting between the two, usually with minimal buffering. Yes they are still called print servers. Gah4 (talk) 10:44, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

port 9100

Hosts supporting a print server often use something like the Line Printer Daemon protocol. Simpler servers, such as the little boxes interfacing Ethernet to a serial, parallel, or USB port, often just accept a TCP connection on port 9100, with just the data, no metadata. This should be mentioned somewhere, maybe here. Gah4 (talk) 22:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
