I still have to ask 'why' ?

Most home users are only printing when at least one of their PC's is 
running.

Local-Shared printers work across the network fine.

Heck, Local-Shared is still used regularly in the corporate environment... 
someone keen enough to run a Network Printer can buy a JetDirect box or 
something.  (And you still require a print server, right?)
