I forgot to add that although the target printer controlled by the server is a network printer, it is a shared printer some distance from

some of the Linux, MacOS, Windows and Chromebook clients (I forgot to mention the last two). Chromebooks in particular are a little

odd if the printer isn't immediately available. Google Cloud Print worked perfectly but that's no longer available.

Is anyone using Plan 9 as the print server for Linux and MacOS systems?
Currently I'm using a Linux Rpi, but it's CUPS, and I've had my fill of that thing.
It's always looking for an excuse to skive.
I haven't used the Plan 9 printer code in perhaps a decade,
but switching to Plan 9 on Rpi with something running there might work well,
or at least I could fix it (compared to having to Google CUPS to find decades old problems unfixed).
Probably I should be using systemd-lp these days.
