[Klug-general] Ubuntu based Timecapsule and Airprint Server

[Brian Reay]

As requested, some notes on the Timecapsule / Airprint Server.

I'm not claiming anything is especially "new", there is no shortage if
references on the web. My notes are based on my experience after
researching solutions and implementing two systems (a prototype and the
"production" system).

Constructive comments welcome.

I will be putting it on my website in the near future, if my wife stops
finding things for me to do while I'm on holiday.

Regards

Brian
