As a Linux system administrator, printers can cause you serious headaches. You’re
bound to find hardware, software, and operating system incompatibilities. Because
such a wide variety of systems and methods of configuring printers exists, this area of
administration has the potential to put you in a bad mood for months—or at least
until you get a handle on the situation.
Let’s start with hardware. Most system administrators will discover four types of
hardware for networking printers. In existing networks, you may find any combina-
tion of these configured:
Printers attached to users’ PCs
Dedicated PCs used as printer servers
Figure 8-11. Policy configurations for Firestarter
