Just in time to avoid the virtual wrist-slap!

I'm in the middle of trying to work out how to set up a new server 
right now. Using Dapper Drake =-O (sh... don't tell everybody) 
because of the Long Term Support policy. Hardware is built from a 
Jetway fanless mainboard, SATA HDD and case.

It's running CUPS without any samba installed, and works just fine 
with both XP (which needs manual configuration of the printers) and 
FC5 (which needs no configuration - it auto detects the printer 
queues and "Just Works"). XP needs to know nothing about the printers 
except the paper size - it uses the generic postscript driver.

I'm a total amateur at this but if you want it I have a zip file of 
notes of what I did. Contact me off list if you want a copy.
