Just curious.  We have an old 386 that we'd like to turn into a print
server on our network for about 4 people.  Are there any freeware
print servers out there?  What's involved in setting this up?  Any
help or information is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Dan

While pserver.nlm is a bit of a hog and sometimes a nuisance,
pserver.exe is pretty painless.  Is there a reason why you don't want to
use the free pserver.exe that came w your copy of NetWare?  It's just a
matter of copying some EXEs and OVLs and such.  VERY easy to setup.

Keep in mind that while rprinter.exe won't take up a license connection,
pserver.exe will.

All of the above relates to 3.1x servers.  4.1 isn't that different,
however.
