It probably depends heavily on what else you've got going on in the
background. The Slug is tightly memory constrained and consequently
prone to swapping. CUPS (and the things it calls to do its job) can
take a lot of RAM.

Hi,
I've achieved it with an epson DX6050.
I had to install the sarge package of gutenprint because of a bug
in the PS converter in the latest stable version.
I find it quite slow printing even just text

Hi Folks

controller and fileserver, i have the system drive connected to
the nslu2

possible to run my epson 1290 usb printer on the nslu2 and use
this as a
print server for the network. does anyone know if this is possible
thanks
