print server or print server card
A print server or print server card is a piece of hardware that can be connected to a printer (or
other device), either internally or externally. The print server allows the printer to communicate
with the computers on a network. This type of print server should not be confused with a
computer acting as a server, or print server. The computer acting as a print server runs the
software that the printer needs to operate.
printer driver
A printer driver (or PPD on a Macintosh) is the software on a computer that allows the
computer to communicate with the printer. Use the printer driver to set printing options, such
as setting the type of paper you are using or selecting the print quality.
printheads
Printheads transfer ink from ink cartridges onto the paper or other print media. There is one
printhead for each color of ink cartridge. Each printhead must be inserted firmly into its
color-coded slot in order for the printer to work. Printheads work with “ink cartridges”.
Quick Sets
Quick Sets allow you to save the current printer driver settings (such as page orientation, print
on both sides, paper source) for reuse. Quick sets can be selected and saved from most tabs
in the printer driver. They are useful for projects that you print often that need the same
settings each time. For more information, see the printer driver Help.
resolution
Resolution is a measure of the quality of the image you are printing. In HP printers, the
resolution and printing technologies work together to produce superb results that resolution
alone cannot offer.
