Here at NMSU Computer Center we have a Student Mac Lab of about 25 Macs.  We
have AppleShare running on two servers behind the desk, one of which is also
running LaserShare.  LaserShare seems to run fine, and can queue up a large
number of jobs (especially with slow printers like the LaserWriter Plus). 
The spooler does a good job so far.  The only problems we've seen so far is
that it consistently flushes PICT jobs (MacDraw, CricketDraw,...) with rotated
text.  (Has to do with postscript record size)  To deal with this, you can
specify Bypass mode (which introduces "cutting" in line problems...).

BTW, LaserShare will also flush any jobs with a Laserwriter driver older than 
it is using.
