It probably has the same spool issue though. Samba is the way to go on this. But I'm not sure how much is will take up in resouces. But what Samba does is use the lpd print spooler (which just does a raw pass through). > So the questions: > 1) Would you still want to use your STN box as a print server if it > required enough free ram to fit the largest job you have? Ram is cheap these days, and for some reason I keep running into people throwing away ram for older computers like the early Pentiums and 486s. I think that ram is definitely the way to go. 64 megs seems a reasonable amount and cheaper than buying a hard disk.
