Well, there is really not much to say. It is a 1.3.10 cups server
running some printers. Pretty standard setup, I'd guess. 

Except for any modern tools (aka print dialogs and printer
setup/discovery) printing does work (you could plug in a debian,
cups-client only system without a hassle).
On the fedora side all server packages are somewhat broken it seems.
