Branch Office Direct Printing (BODP) is a feature introduced in Windows Server 2012 that is designed to reduce print traffic across your WAN. With BODP, a user in a branch office sends the print job directly to a branch office printer. There is no need to send the print job from the client to a centralized print server and then back to the branch office printer. Print jobs can be quite large, so this can improve printing and reduce print job-related WAN traffic.
