A print server accepts print jobs from many computers and prints them to the printers it has connected to it. The ideal situation would be to have a number of identical printers connected to the server; this way, when you send a job to print it just picks the first free one and starts outputting pages.
If you have:
a big network--hundreds of machines...
or you print huge jobs and don't want to slow down the host workstations doing it...
or you've got a lot of similar printers and don't want your users to be able to pick the one they print to (which sounds like you're being a dictator, but what you're actually doing is load balancing--given a choice 90 percent of all users are going to take the first one, which would mean that in a network with six printers on it one printer would print everything and five would sit there idle almost all the time) ...
then you need a print server.
