stand alone print server
I have a lexmark x5495 all in one, which is useless on linux and was wondering if I were to buy a stand alone linux supported print server that supported the x5495 if I could get the thing to print.
I've searched the net with no luck, everyone is talking about a software driven print server on a box in which all machines need drivers to support the printer. I was wondering if this could be used as a work around for the drivers issue.
My original plan was to set up this linux machine as a server to handle all internet traffic (dyndns, web cache, ftp, etc) and print serving. Although I haven't implemented it all yet I'm pretty sure the internet parts can be implemented without too much of a problem, but the print serving is impossible without a work around. Any thoughts on all of this mess.
