Before giving up a spare machine, I had Mandrake 8 running with CUPS
on it. Very easy to setup through their embedded HTML server and
I believe responds to lp commands from remote systems. Worked
great even over the LAN.
The hardest part was playing with the printers to find the right one.
(Canon BJC-620 isn't directly supported, had to play with the 610
printer defs to find the right one). A couple of test pages later
it was up and running.
I would recommend it for a quick and easy way to setup a printer. I
had started setting up sharing on it via samba but gave the machine
up before I finished. I don't know if there are any issues with it,
I think their FAQ said they support it, don't quote me on that one
though.
