We use "[name of application] server" to denote a PC with network printer
monitoring software installed on it.
A device is a "print server" if it's physically connected to one or more
printers in order to provide those printers with a network connection. If
this device is a stand-alone item rather than a dedicated PC, it's also a
"network adapter."
Happy Friday!
