Yes, the standard Archimedes / Master module fits in the A5000.

awServer is a PD fileserver app, or if you can get hold of Level 4, you
could run that. Both will run in the desktop, so you can still use the
A5000 for other tasks.

Level 4 comes with Spooler, which allows you to share the server's printer
to the econet. I'm not sure if any PD printer servers exist. The protocol
is pretty simple, I did write one long ago.
