This is actually very rare in our business. We frequently print from our client computers onto the server's printers, but rarely the reverse. I can also see how a salesperson or on-site technician might wish to print orders, reports, test results, etc., on the server's printers. The world is an incredibly complex place and remote computing means pretty much everything you can think of, someone is doing or trying to do. We ran a Mom & Pop gift store on the north Oregon coast for 10 years, then decided to start wintering in a sunnier climate. For the last six years we have run our business part time from southern CA and the rest of the time from a houseboat on a river about a two hour drive from our store. Both locations are connected to the store by VPNs. My wife has a computer in the store that is "hers". She logs into it in the morning and manages the employees as if she were in the store because she can see every sale that occurs as it occurs. She can then suggest ways to re-arrange the merchandise to fill in the "hole" left by a tapestry or painting that is sold. She can keep tabs on inventory and watch the sales, looking for a lull when she can ask for physical counts. She can re-order important merchandise as soon as it sells. Etc. When she is in the store she gets too caught up in the fray to do this kind of oversight. This is why we've done fine during the recession while other stores in our area are dying off right and left. And I can look out the window to my left and see the river, the herons, the boats and so on. --Brian M.
