Hi, The network card on my HP 4300 is definitely dead. All I am left with is a... parallel port! But the printer is still working fine, printing fast and in good quality. I don't want to invest in a new network card though, while I have a bunchg of old systems lying around. Solutions are: 1) I set-up a small FreeBSD box, with printer spooler, and all my quota stuff; 2) I find a solution to bridge the parallel port and the ethernet port. This is more exciting and I keep the quota and spooling on the original print server. Any cue for the option 2?
