Thank you very much for all of your answers to our question "Centralized vs. distributed printing". They have helped us to set a clear idea that what we need is definitely is a centralized scheme, due to all of the advantages it implies. We are writing to you again to ask for some more advise. The problem we have now is we don't know where we shoud put the print server. We have a linux node (PIII, 256Mb, 10 Gb HDD) that runs a NIS server, Samba, mail server and a little web server, and the rest of nodes relay on this one (basicly due to NIS and mail services). We are not sure wether it would be a good idea to overload this node with the new print server service. We would like to hear your opinions of how have you integrated all of these services and how we could improve our fragile system (all relay on one box and if it falls we stop the productivity of more than 30 people in the lab). We have about 25 linux and 8 windows. Andrew Morgan talked about a backup print server. Could you give us more info about how to implement it? Thank you very much again. We are learning a lot from you. best regards. roger ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
