Solution

A plain-vanilla Pentium-class PC with several attached printers makes a dandy CUPS printer server. There are two good ways to install multiple printers to a single PC:

Use additional parallel-PCI cards, for connecting parallel-port printers.

Add USB hubs for connecting more USB printers.

Set up a minimal Linux installation, with CUPS. Install all the Foomatic and Gimp-Print packages and drivers. (These are available both as RPMs and in Debian repositories.)

Then all you need to do is install the printers and configure CUPS. See the first four recipes in this chapter for how to install printers, and information on sharing with both Windows and Linux clients without needing to use Samba.
