Hi,
What or how do u wantto have your printer setup? Because you don't need another drive for each station if you shared your printer from 1 location.
You could set as: 1 printer connected to 1 comp. and on this comp you must have this printer share so people over the network could be able to use this device. NO NEED PrintServer, right? TRUE. But, the only thing is not good about this setup is the comp. that have the printer connected MUST BE ALWAYS ON or ONLINE. So, it's really up to you those it's all depends on how you want your network to do or run.
Peace

Hi You can set up two printers with different drivers of any printer, eg: PCLe and PCL6 drivers. This will help most of the time becuase there are some files which doesn't go smoothly with one particular driver soyou can choose another one to print in to. Hope this will help you. cheers Kris
