Hey, something I did myself before an HN article about it came out.
I had a spare Raspberry Pi lying around, and I have a nearly 20 year old office printer that, while it does support the generic postscript driver and can be used over ethernet, will give me weirdness if I try printing anything without first converting it to PDF. I pretty much only use Pandoc/LaTeX for a majority of my documents since I usually export through pdflatex first, so it took awhile for me to notice, but my wife had issues when she was trying to print out pictures directly and we got weird postscript errors instead. Obviously it's an easy fix, just print to PDF first, but it's also irritating, so I fitted one of my Raspberry Pis with CUPS and it worked great.
