<para>FreeBSD can be used to print to a wide variety of printers, from the
oldest impact printer to the latest laser printers, and everything in
between, allowing you to produce high quality printed output from the
applications you run.</para>
<para>FreeBSD can also be configured to act as a print server on a
network; in this capacity FreeBSD can receive print jobs from a variety
of other computers, including other FreeBSD computers, Windows and MacOS
hosts. FreeBSD will ensure that one job at a time is printed, and can
keep statistics on which users and machines are doing the most printing,
produce <quote>banner</quote> pages showing who's printout is who's, and
more.</para>
