What Printers Can Be Shared?

Mac OS X Server supports PostScript-compatible printers connected to your network using
AppleTalk or the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol. Mac OS X Server also supports
PostScript-compatible printers connected directly to your server by means of a Universal
Serial Bus (USB) connection.

Note: Non-PostScript printers connected to the USB port can be shared using the same
Printer Sharing available in Mac OS X client. This is completely different from
Mac OS X Server print service. You can use Server Settings Print Monitor to view the activity
of printers shared via Printer Sharing, but you cannot make any change to the queue such as
limiting access or renaming the queue.
