If you are just looking for a simple print server (and happen to have some
old PCs about), you could use the _UWCAEPS_.  We've written a print server
here at the UW, it's quite reliable, but does have a few drawbacks:

1.  Runs as a dedicated print server, no TSR.
2.  Doesn't do banners (it will some day).
3.  Is edu-ware (free to educational institutions, not for use by commercial
    folks).

There are some interesting features:

Handles parallel & serial printers, can transfer jobs from one queue to 
another.  Can service many fileservers with a single printer.

If you'd like a copy, you can get one via anonymous FTP.  The server
is rodan.acs.syr.edu (thanks to my good friends at syracuse!).  The
file is UWUTILS.UUE or UWUTILS.EXE.  It's a self extracting archive with
a number of programs written here that might be of interest to Novell 
administrators.  If you do start to use the software, please send me a 
note.  We like to know what people think about it.

Good Luck,
Art
