Cross-platform printer sharing

In business environments, sharing the printer connected to a certain workgroup member's computer can be inconvenient. That means, the member's computer has to be on all the time.

Good news is, the Turbo NAS can play the role as a printer server. By connecting a compatible USB printer to the Turbo NAS, members can use the cross-platform printer resources over the network and send remote printing request over the Internet (max. 3 USB printers) without interrupting each other's work. It supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), Samba, print job management and Bonjour printing for Mac OS X.

Printing management on the web

As the Turbo NAS acts as a printer server and becomes the hub to manage cross-platform printing requests from numerous users, it is also beneficial for IT administrators to centrally control the printer resources in terms of access permission or printing tasks management. For example, IT administrators can allow or restrict the use of printers from certain IP addresses or domains, making sure the printer is dedicated and used by the right department members to prevent resource overload.
