So, can someone tell me the One True Way to get secure, easy-to-control network printing if it's not CUPS? :)
Mutter, CUPS and IPP seems to work *fine* for us. I wouldn't try using smb to send print jobs if it's at all avoidable, for it breaks often and is just, well, crap.
You can tune what it allows through with a set of text files that allow access to certain URLs as certain classes of people, seems to work OK, and I've not had any problems with it. Win2k's IPP support is a little iffy to set up some times, but certainly setting up an IPP printer in WinXP is damned easy.
Just my 2ps worth,
