Im looking for a good print server. Im moving my linux box to the basement and ill need something upstairs to connect the printer to. It should agree with both Linux and windows(samba).





FWIW, Unix LPR print protocol has worked fine for me in every Windows
client since 98SE. Most ethernet print servers implement it.

It's been a long time since I set up a Unix printing environemnt but I
expect that any modern unix print setup can talk to a LPR print server
over ethernet.






Netgear printservers work well for us - though I've not tested much with usb models....
