More info would help. What OS's are running on workstations? Which network protocol is used, looks like Netgear understands TCP/IP,IPX/SPX and Netbeui? How are the print servers resolved - DNS or host file entries? What print driver software is used on workstations? Any changes in network configuration around time trouble started? I think any of these could be a potential problem. As far as a Linux print server, most any distro would do. If Win* clients, samba is fairly easy to setup and don't need to create special printer ports on Win* clients. Spooling and logging additional benefits.
