I've never heard of a print server distribution. I think it's such a
basic set of tasks, but uses large enough packages, that it just never
occurred to anyone to make a distribution specifically for that purpose
-- especially since most people would probably base it off either
Slackware or Debian, and discover very quickly that it's easier to just
install Slackware or Debian and the needed services. I suppose I could
be wrong about that, but this is how it looks to me.
