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.
