That would require the client to know how to format its output for that
specific printer type.

I'd call any system that can support remote connections for printing a
"print server" :-)

But thinking about that just now, when I configure a Windows PC to use
the printer on my home network, I have to specify the specific printer
make and model, (I might have even had to install drivers, but it's been
a while) so the requirement for formatting the output still exists.
