Chrisj73 - One upside to having the stand-alone print server is that other users on your network can print without your PC having to stay on. My house has 2 laptops and 3 desktops in daily use, with my desktop often having parts added or removed. Having a dedicated box so everyone can print saves everyone a lot of aggravation.

One of the biggest reasons to have a stand-alone print server is so that your PC does not have to stay on all the time. In my house, there are two laptops and three desktops. Having a dedicated box to handle print jobs at any hour allows me to have my PC on the bench for frequent upgrades, without causing anyone distress over the printer not being available. If there are only a couple of users, then Chrisj73's method would be easier.
