Since you do not say HOW the printer is being used - which OS hosts it and so on - it's not really possible to comment.

I've been running a mixed linux (ubuntu and now mint) and windows (2000) for some time, with linux ubuntu driving the printer, and have only one real problem: a windows machine sometimes needs to log on to the linux printer host in order to use it - a known problem possibly due to the age of windows and its password/security setup. A couple of seconds with Windows Explorer and it's working again.
