Is there a way to have a highly available print server using FreeBSD?  I've
looked into SAMBA, but it doesn't look like it supports a form of clustering
SAMBA servers at this time.  

 

Pretty much what I need is to "cluster" some print servers so that all
printers are available even if a server goes down.  I have Windows clients
so I would need to have some form of connectivity for the Windows clients.

 

Any ideas?
