Printer Question

Hi Guys,
If i have 2 PC's and 1 has a printer, when i share the printer which computer handles the print job? PC that the job came from or the computer with the printer attached??

I am asking because i need to attach about 20 printers to a computer for printing disks but would i be better setting up a small print server and let it handle the printers?

Dunno. Got a network printer. Sorry.

The PC that has the job does all the work.
The PC with the shared printer just acts as a buffer.

is there anyway to make the pc with the printers handle the job???

As soon as you hit print, you could unplug the PC and throw it out the window, the printer holds the job in memory and does it from there.
