I suggest it too. I actually use samba+cups as printserver, with about 60 queues. It works great! :o) By the way Till, I'm going to realize a new printserver with incoming 8.2. Since all of the printers use jetdirect protocol, I can use both CUPS or LPRng. What would you suggest depending on your experience?
