Mac OS X Server Print Server

Nothing really exciting to report here, add a queue for a network printer (LPR), enabled all the protocols as will need SMB for Windows clients and LPR with Bonjour enabled as I've found from experience it's easier just to let the users install whatever printers they want and Bonjour makes this a breeze.

Only things that stumped me a little was the 'kind' or printer model, by default Server Admin decided my printer was a Generic PostScript printer, which is probably can be but PostScript can be very slow to print, the way to set the real model is after adding the print queue, on the server it's self go into Preferences -> Print & Fax and you'll find your printer in there, set the type in the options and that's it.
