Lena's got her new laptop, and is very happy with it.
I've set up her old laptop as a print server, and it works.
However, even with the screen off and the hard drive spun down, it consumes over 40 watts of power. That would cost $60 per year.
So, I could buy a dedicated print server for about $40, which I expect would use very little power.
Or, we could set her computer on standby, but then we'd have to walk all the way over to it to wake it up when we want to print something (oh bother).
Anyone use a print server?
