My point (which I did not make very well) was that a printer with
Postscript capability and a built-in ethernet interface typically is
well worth the price, because of the time savings which accumulate
over the years. Configuring Linux for a non-Postscript printer and
making a parallel- or usb-interface printer available to other
machines on the LAN can be very expensive, if your time is worth
anything.
Takes me about half an hour if the driver for the printer is in gs-gpl
or gs-esp. I use standard lpd and apsfilter. If I need fancy access
control then I use LPRng. If you don't mind brining in cupsys, you can
use LPRng, foomatic-printfilters, and foomatic-GUI and do the setup that
way. I've never done a full CUPS-only setup; never had the need.
Then, its just opening the lpr port in the server's firewall.
