Jennifer Blom wondered: <<We are searching for a word to denote a
particular computer on the network that a solution is installed to (to
watch over 1-1000 printer devices).>
The standard term for a computer that performs a service is "server",
and since this one provides a service related to printers, "print
server" seems the most likely term. However, that term usually means a
computer that accepts print jobs and spools them out to available
printers. If it's not doing that, then perhaps "Printer monitor"? The
key to choosing a good name is to identify the role that you're trying
to name.
