I am trying with pdq (thanks to rob apodaca for suggestion), because it can print both to lpd and jetdirect printers,� but it needs perl, and perl messes up with libraries.
(of course there are already some, but I'm working on them)
I will try with mulinux, anyway.

All printers are network-based (either lpd and jetdirect). The spooler would be used just to send print requests to network printers and would never manage remote requests.

I have seen mulinux print spooler, but it does not manage jetdirect printers...Pick one of the full Linux servers on your network to be the spooler for all of those printers. Then, use something like the mulinux print spooler or an lpd program to feed the print jobs to that Linux box. Let that box be the one that has to worry about talking to a Jetdirect printer. That's my advice, anyway.

In this environment LTSP client workstations should access to network (lpd, jetdirect...) printers directly. lp_server program does not have this feature. If possible we want to avoid a full lpd installation. Well, the question is: is there a light, easy to set up lp_server replacement which can print also on a network-based printer?
