I have no idea how I would go about doing that. To boot, I just found
out that the server only has one PCI slot (the rest is PCI-X) and that's
taken up by the soundcard (for my jukebox server, another domU). So I
guess there's no other option than to add printserving to dom0.

Thanks anyway for the advice :-)
