[Watford] Network Printer

[Neel Upadhyaya]

Hi Walter,

*nux has a great print queuing system in the shape of CUPS
[http://www.cups.org/], it's incredibly easy to setup and once the
basic configuration is done (there are many howtos out there
[http://glasnost.beeznest.org/articles/170]) the rest can be done from
a web interface.

Let me know if you have any questions.

--Neel.
