Which of the following server roles is MOST appropriate to route files to multifunction devices?

A proxy server intermediates client requests to external network resources, primarily for web traffic caching and filtering, and has no role in managing or routing print jobs.

A router forwards IP packets between network segments based on routing tables and has no awareness of print protocols or the ability to direct jobs to multifunction devices.

A print server manages print queues, holds device drivers, and routes incoming print jobs to the appropriate networked multifunction device - this is its core defined function. It acts as the central intermediary between end-user workstations and output devices such as printers, copiers, and multifunction peripherals.

A web server responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests and serves content to browsers - it has no functionality for queuing or delivering files to printing or multifunction devices.
