Actually, for jobs of reasonable size, say under 25-50 pages and infrequent enough that the printer could rest a few minutes every few jobs, we didn't have any scalability issues. It uses lpr/lpq and from what I remember, that protocol can just go to sleep for a few minutes on a printer. If your arrival rate is too high when that occurs, you can't catch up. 90% of our problems were the same old printer issues, unpluged, off, out of paper, gone, firewalled, it never ends and it doesn't matter what software is driving them.
