The UPS, linux for the control and reporting, and issues?

as to the workflow, and budget,

Still and all, those print spoolers sell for upwards of $90.00!

Three Saints Resale thrift store sold a complete 400 Mhz system last
week for $5!  Others are there, with monitor, mouse. keyboard, for
$25.00 (dell desktop 700Mhz) and up (AMD 1.2Ghz, in a SPtower, $90,
complete).

Snapple mice (PS2, red buttons, clear housing, ball) are $1 NIB.

You can take a Pentium Class cpu, and 96 Mb RAM, and install a small
linux system to act as the print spooler, and it is all free, running
headless, with only the one NIC!

It could even be done at an Installfest.

Some of us 'might' do it for you for lunch and the bragging rights...
