打印机共享距离远

节

A printer shared over a longer distance than a local one typically requires more bandwidth. Furthermore, a higher number of users connected to the shared printer also requires greater bandwidth. The exact distance that a printer can be shared with minimal disruption depends on the printer, the network connection type and the network speed.

For example, a printer connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection can typically be shared without disruption up to 500 meters. Beyond this distance, data transmission could become increasingly unreliable, resulting in an increased number of packet loss and potential slowdowns.

As the distance of the printer share increases, total data throughput decreases. For example, a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection can provide up to 700 bytes of data per second, but a printer shared over 700m can only provide about 200 bytes per second.
