Hello Kymon, well, I'm working in a company which uses only printservers for printing and sometimes you can have very strange problems with them. First, you can use network lpd printing even from Windows XP. If you want to know how, you can ask. Second, as I know, the printserver should always forward every print job directly to the printer. So you should not be limited to 64k print jobs, but either to 8 MB print jobs. Because the 64k cache should be only for caching the stream flow. Which printer driver do you use on linux? (this could be one reason for your problems) Which printer do you have. Which router (incl. print server) do you have? Another problem could be also that the print server has bugs and does not support the LPD protocol correctly, so look out for firmware updates. Warning: I am not responsible in hardware failures due to firmware updating, be sure that you know what you do. You could destroy your router/printserver with an fw update. Another solution would be to buy a separatly print server for USB or parallel port (for about 65 euros).
