[SuSE Linux] Win => SuSE printing via Samba
I'm running 4 98 machines and 1 SuSE 5.3 with Samba server working great. However, I was thinking about using The _SuSE Server_ as a _Print Server_ and was interested in others opinions, success and failure stories as well as suggestions and pointers in creating a Print Server. I will welcome information off list as well.

I have absolutely no problem printing from Windows via samba. Works great - as good as any commercial print server I've seen. I can print multiple jobs, and they queue up just fine. Expected behaviour. The down side is whenever I print multiple jobs from a Linux program running on the server, the second job collides (overwrites?) the first, and the printer starts shooting out paper with garbage on it. This behaviour started after I upgraded to 5.3 (gimp also does not work), so I suspect I have a glitched upgrade.
