There are two systems and they are loosely coupled: There are machines that want to print something. They may be clients, whole machines, winders machines etc etc The are 'machines' that print stuff. They may be winders machines, servers, clients, stand-alone printers. Finally you connect a want-to-print-machine to a printer-machine using a technique that is some what dependant on the implementation ie cups Now a thin-client is not (generally) a logical pc. It is a (one of many) keyboard and display on the server machine. It may also act as a printer-machine that may or may not be related to the server on which you are working using the want-to-print-machine to printer-machine association and techniques. Now just about any bizare setup is possible, but generally a single spooler accessed by many want-to-print-machines makes sense. The spooler handles the details of which printer-machines to use, how and when. Now your printing issues boil down to which want-to-print-machines using the spooler access which printer-machines.
