Can Coyote be used as a Samba print server?

# A: Not easily, and probably not very well. The main obstacle is the size of the print jobs, which Coyote simply doesn’t have room to spool. Also, Coyote doesn’t have parallel port support enabled in its kernel. A more feasible approach would be to use the non-spooling p910nd print server, which uses the same “raw sockets” protocol as HP’s JetDirect™ devices, but no known implementation of this on Coyote has been reported.
