I can lead a lab on setting up and using CUPS. My experiances with have not been awesome with CUPS, but have been OK thus far.

We can setup local printing, windows printing via samba, and maybe some remote printing between 2 linux boxes. Let me know. Ted Kat. said: > I think Jake and I can take care of some printers.
