Page 13 of the "Network and System Administration" manual shows a table  
that lists the compatibilities for combining servers. According to this  
table, it is impossible for a NeXt to be a PrintServer and one of the  
following: "NetBoot" server, "home directory" server, "Mail" server, or  
"other file" server. What does this mean? What kind of machine, then, can  
be set up as a print server? Only a dedicated machine with no other  
responsabilities?

We have intermittently experienced intractable problems with printing,  
especially printer daemons that constantly crash. I wonder whether this  
might be due to the fact that our print server is our Mailserver, a home  
directory server, the Netboot server, and a server for "other files" at  
the same time.

Does anybody have any experience about what a PrintServer is really  
compatible with or what certainly won't work?

Any hint highly appreciated.
