We are currently supporting 27 networked HP Laserjet printers
with NP92 on our 959KS/200.  Works fine, lasts a long time
(guess I should say (C) Denys Beauchemin on that last   ;-)  ).

Note that NP92 and RAC's PrintPath are (AFAIK) essentially
the same product.  Also, the amount of CPU NP92 will use is
proportional to how often you have it check the spooler queue
and how many files you decide to keep "hanging around" in a
deferred state.  Our users are very impatient, so we have NP92
check all printers every 30 seconds.  On our 959 we have ample
resources to do that.  If you have a low-end loaded 3000 with
many printers and keep a lot of files in the spooler queue, you
may want to be careful how often you have NP92 check the
queue and what run-time options you select (RESCAN, etc.).
