Very basically, what the software does is to "monitor" all the print queues on the machine where it is installed. So, the best place for you to install it is on the print server, or in a computer that has some printer queues shared. Also, if you have printer queues in more than one "server", you can select one as the primary server, and install a "secondary server" on others, so those secondary servers will send all the printing information of the queues on it to the primary one.

I hope this helps.
