Group accounts and the Linux server
I need some good strategies for students to submit work to their teachers, 
and for teachers to pass out assignments to their students.  I thought this 
could be done with group accounts and not local mail (which I have not yet 
delved into).
Should I just put this out as an open question and study what you all have 
done or would you rather I harness you with what I'm trying to do, which 
might be a flawed strategy to begin with.
linux printing
I took a visit to linuxprinting.org to get drivers for some printers. It 
said the driver/filter for this printer was the "laserjet" and that this 
driver/filter worked for 22 other printers.  I retrieved a page for the 
laserjet that offered me several files for my very old IBM 4019 Laser 
printer, none of which were called laserjet.  I could download: a PPD, an 
old CUPS PPD, a Description file, and a PDQ Driver.  Which is the true 
driver. ??
Then, from what I gather, I need to reference the driver in the printcap file?
