- 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.
