And this works for you? I tried to setup a Pi as a print server but it
was just bad. Printer was a Laserjet but not so old it could take PCL or
postscript. Something proprietary that has been thoroughly reverse
engineered long ago, don't remember exactly what right now.
For me this setup was extremely flaky over the network. Sure, I could
print a test page but actual print jobs were really hit or
miss. Typically Cups on the Pi would say the job printed fine but
nothing actually came out of the printer. Reprinting from the Cups
"completed jobs" list always worked though. Sometimes Cups just decided
the printer wasn't "reachable". Even when it worked it was super slow for
one or two page text only jobs, say something like minutes for a file of
a few dozen kB to a few hundred.
Eventually the Pi ate its SD card and I got a cheapo ink jet. Still,
that old Laserjet should have something like 2000 pages worth of toner
left in its cartridge so sometimes I think about trying again.
