We've been sucessfully using LPRng in our University system for quite some time now. We have a very heterogenous environment of platforms, all printing through our Solaris-based server, which has recently been upgraded to LPRng 3.8.4. In light of a couple strange problems that we have with it, everything works. We have people printing from other Solaris machines remotely, Windows 98, NT 4, 2000, XP, MacOS 8, 9, and OSX, some Silicon Graphics IRIX machines and a selection of Linux and FreeBSD boxes.
