In the beginning there were DIMM switches that needed to be set correctly or the computer may still work but nothing else did. Dual Inline Memory Module switches were a pain in the neck in more ways than one. Then, of course, you also needed to link any external hard disks in a particular way with the printer right at the end of the chain.

Plug-and-play solves than by the operating system asking what is connected to it on a regular time basis. This means if a printer is physically connected to a network the OS will find it quickly and enable you to send work to it.
