"Print directly" to a network printer (i.e. a printer which is
directly accessible via network - e.g. via a TCP socket)
means that no print server machine is in between.
I.e.:
"Print directly":
Workstation -> network printer
"Print via a print server machine":
Workstation -> print server machine -> printer
In the first case it is obvious that all what is necessary to
produce a printout (in particular the printer driver) must
be installed and run on the workstation.
In the second case it depends on which exact service the
print server machine actually provides what must be installed
and run on the workstation to get a printout.
Note that in the second case there is no communication between
the workstation and the printer. The workstation communicates
only with a printing system running on a print server machine.
