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?
Thanks in advance,
