Remote desktop allows a user to access and control a separate computer's desktop environment from their own device. It involves configuring firewall settings and permissions on both computers to allow remote connections, then using the target computer's IP address to establish a remote desktop session from the client computer, entering login credentials to access the remote desktop. A print server connects printers to computers on a network, accepting print jobs and queuing them locally to send to printers as their capacity allows. Google Cloud Print enables web-based printing from any device to networked printers.
