[Samba] [OT] network appliances - any such implementations?

[Chris McKeever]

I am wondering if there are any such network devices as:

- a CUPS print server which basically gives the CUPS web interface and
then allows you to upload the windows drivers?

- A standalone floppy and/or CD drive that is network attachable.

I know both of these can be easily created using s simple SAMBA
install - just wondering if anyone has taken it one step further and
made a little network appliance for either. one issue I do wonder
though about the CD/FLOPPY idea, how would one get it to automount
(the way windows does)

I have recently seen the LINKSYS network storage devices, which led me
to this type of idea

thanks
