print server - IP port - does it matter ?

We currently have a Netgear PS101 small print server
that attaches directly to the printer's parallel port.

I've setup all the computers to use the IP Port assignment method
for printing - and it basically works fine -

One thing I was wondering,
does it really matter which print server product is selected
when setting up the IP port on the computer ?
Don't they all basically work the same way - LPR/LPD -
and if there is just one physical port, it shouldn't really matter ?

You mean queues? Some print servers just ignore the queue name. Others
process input to the queues differently; one queue translates linefeed
to CRLF, for example. It depends on the print server.
