you may want to look at a "turnkey" file server solution, such as  
OpenFiler:

http://www.openfiler.com/

this particular project is based on Linux, but is designed  
specifically to be an easy-to-use file server, rather than a general- 
purpose machine.  you may be able to use the built-in printing system  
to add print server capabilities to an OpenFiler box; i haven't tried  
to do so, so i can't tell you for sure.
