Why each option
A print server is the dedicated server type responsible for hosting and managing network printers and print jobs.
A print server is a server that manages network printers and print jobs, acting as a central point for users to send print requests to available printers. It handles tasks like queueing, scheduling, and error reporting for all connected network printers.
An NTP (Network Time Protocol) server is used to synchronize the clocks of computers on a network, and it has no role in managing printers.
A dedicated application server hosts specific applications, but its primary function is not to manage network printers.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network, and it does not manage printers.
