hi folks, this is a hardware question, so maybe slightly OT. I am looking for a way to make our 2 printers easily accessible over the 'net, nad wouldl ove to hear back on other people's experience. here's what we have:
1 brother hl-1440 laser printer 1 canon s520 inkjet printer 2 debian boxes (one laptop, one desktop) 2 windows boxes network currently runs through a smc2404wbr wireless (802.11b) router (which I confess doesn't work all that well). I'm looking for something that would make one or, preferably, both the printers accessible directly over the net, and that isn't a huge pain to make work with the debian boxes (I've had some difficulty with shared printers over SAMBA at work, tho I think that's partly the fault of the Windoze admins there). both these printers accept parallel port and USB 1.1/2.0 connections, so either mode would be fine, tho I guess usb 2.0 would be best. I'd also be willing to pay out a few more bucks for a combination wireless router/ print server, since our router kinda sucks. Look forward to hearing from y'all! matt -------------------------- .''`.
