I know it works with LPD-style printers, and has an excellent web interface for administration. It can emulate the standard LPD tools as well. I don't know how well it handles high loads, though. |Does any one have any experience with this or some good places to get really |good info? Are any Distro's better than any other? ~ You'll probably want the Linux Printing, CUPS and LPRng websites: http://www.linuxprinting.org/ http://www.cups.org/ http://www.lprng.com/ ~ As for distros, pick whichever you are most comfortable with. After disabling any unneeded services and installing the lastest secuity patches, they are all equally capable. ~ HJ Hornbeck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE936azbYQU8p5saQIRAqcrAKCi1v1GaUeGTHo0q7m3/VCfG2Hg4ACcCy3S 88ls+nMghgal8Wi1Fpq4IiM= =mkAr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
