Linux Print Server Enhances Library Printing

“Our public network consisted of a simple local area network
with 15 Windows clients connecting to the outside world via a
dedicated proxy server, and one networked Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
5200. As there was no budget to purchase any special server

Windows print server, which in any case would have been overkill.
But we has an old Compaq desktop computer in storage with a 40GB
hard drive and 512MB of RAM, which was powerful enough to run
Linux.

“Though I’m the on-site computer support person, I wasn’t a

load and easy to tweak. After a bit of research, I chose the
Ubuntu-derivative Linux Mint for its size and its friendly
GUI.”
