I'm sorry for your experience. Clearly mine's been just the opposite.

OTOH, I've been able to issue cancels to the PS110 and they're honored
from both Linux and Windows. The print job--if under 64K--is in the
printserver, but that talks LPR protocol to the Linux box, and looks
like a normal Win* system on that side of the house. It should honor
cancel requests.

That is certainly a plus, especially if you don't mind the server being on
all the time, and taking the performance hit of handling the print queue.
