It will have the printer connected to it via the serial port. Will that matter? No. The clients will access the print server using CUPS' ipp protocol (most likely that is what you want if you have a CUPS server and CUPS clients, though newer Windows and Mac OS X also support IPP). Thus, the physical connection between the printer and the server is irrelevant from the clients' perspective. If you really wanted, you could even take a networked printer (i.e., one that supports JetDirect or ipp natively) and route traffic to it through a CUPS server for accounting purposes and the clients would never know.
