[K12OSN] School printer server

[Jeremy Schubert]

Thanks for all your help.  Just to let you know I've found
http://freesco.org/ <https://owa.cssd.ab.ca/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://freesco.org/>  that I'm setting up for the print server. 
And, as slashdotfx suggests I'll read a book for the file
server/unattended install part.  I'll also look into wpkg as Huck
suggests.
