a print server should never go down ... if not being able to print
at any time is not acceptable, then
	- put the printer on the gw or the mail server...
	( a machine that presumably doesn't go down )
	because if those machines does go down... you might as
	well go watch tv for a while and printing is not the only
	issue anymore

- and but configuring the various config files is important to 
  prevent unauthorized activities
