Hi, Has anyone ever considered using Devil Linux as a print server? I have a 486 with quite a lot of memory (at least 96MB, maybe 128, I can't remember) which I would like to turn into a diskless print server. I guess I would need the whole CUPS/ghostscript/foomatic/gimp-print stuff. Do you think it can be done? -- Arnaud |

LPRng is currently the only available software, so as long as your client has the printer filter running, this is not going to be a problem. I'm uploading a test version to the ftp server later today. I still want to add CUPS to DL, but just can't find enough time to do it. cu Heiko |
