True, it's overkill for just sharing one printer, but I use mine to share two printers (HP LaserJet 1100, Epson Stylus Photo EX) for Windows using Samba (Including hosting the drivers) and Mac using netatalk. Ghostscript does the conversion for CUPS, which supports the 6 color printing on the Photo printer.
The box also does file sharing with Samba and netatalk, as well as sharing the internet connection, running a DHCP server, using fetchmail to poll all of my various e-mail accounts into one spool, hosting that spool using IMAP, and holding an outgoing mail queue using sendmail. Little more than sharing printers. :) Terry > Heh.
