The OP said that he was accessing the printer via TCP/IP, in which

(And on every domain on which I've ever worked, there's never been a
server wasted servicing printers; each printer had a network card
(or HP JetDirect server), so that the workstations could print
directly to them. Shared (from other computers) printers have
always been a last resort, because of the perfromance hit to the
network that such devices cost.
On older printers - that was less than secure of a setup. Especially when
you work in an environment like a university where they is a huge network
and you are only supporting X-Department and Y-Department starts using your
IP shared printer.
The printers are still shared on the network and can be printed to
directly - if you have the right IP. Printer interfaces have improved and
allow you to more easily limit who can print to it now.
Not to mention - when you have to count every single page and charge for it
(such as in a student computing lab at a major university) - you aren't
going to do that without passing through a server to do the counting. =)
