Turn a Rasp Pi into a print server with TurboPrint
Conclusion
Installing and licensing a TurboPrint print server over the Internet caused no problems. However, when TurboPrint is not installed locally, you lose a number of advantages. A family license for the user with several computers in the household permits installation of TurboPrint on three PCs and a total of five printers.
TurboPrint on a Rasp Pi functioning as a print server displays its strengths, compared with the often rudimentary open source drivers, when higher priced printers are involved or if you have a nearby connected printer that would be a better choice for your print job. In these cases, the price you pay for an extra Rasp Pi becomes less important.
