Anyone got any ideas about the best way to turn an old 486 into a print server for a Canon BJC3000 ink printer (AFAIK not aWinPrinter) on my network?

We have several printers running here with various dot matrix/laser/ink jet printers hooked up. If the printer in question, is not usb, then I would suggest just using Redhat 6.2 for your print server. This is what we have done. If it is a usb printer, then make sure that your 486 has a usb port (yes some do) and then install redhat 7.3.
We have as little as a 486dx2/50 supporting two dot matrix printers. Our uptime for this box is 207 days. The only time that it needs rebooted is when there is a significant power outage.
Hi Jon,
Is it not better to use CUPS with an ink printer or does it not make any real difference?
Thanks..
