We have a mixture of Mdk 7.2 servers and Mdk 8.0 clients with two network printers (but we spool each of them through our servers anyways) and one epson inkjet again spooled through a workstation.
If you have a remote printer simply install it on one of your machines as a remote printer and then let that machine spool the traffic to that printer (or for that matter do that on all and have them fight for access fifo) then for printing you can simply use the local name (lpr -Pfac) would spool my job on one of our servers and then forward it to our network printer. My instance of cups knows about fac since the server broadcasts that info. Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J. Guelzow Assoc.
