So this week I'm working with special purpose printers (Dymo, Label, Card-printers).
They only connect via USB and there are no linux drivers, so CUPS on a Pi and sharing them won't work '-.-
Guess I'll try that USB over IP thing and see how that goes.

    Good luck with that! Let us know how you get on. I'd be curious to know.

    Solution so far: Install VirtualHere on a pi2 connected to the printers. Install the client on machines that need to access the printers.
    Would be nice if I could install the client on a windows server and share the printers, so that there wouldn't be a need for the client on every computer. Problem right now is that I don't have a license and therefore only connect one printer at a time :/

    Sounds fiddly! I'll be putting in a new office when I move house, see if I can figure it out too. Gonna have quite a few printers, including a big ass poster printer 😈
