Re: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
I have seen $40 boxes that you can just plug into the LAN and the printer and print with IPP over IP etc comes with a web interface to setup as well IPP works over the whole net as well, could come in useful JG Aaron Peterson wrote: it's probably cheapest to buy another computer ($20 286 with lan card) and have the software on that 286 , pass commands to the parallel device over ethernet (I'm assuming it is some home made device rather than a printer) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
Hi List! I'm looking for a product (if it really exists!) to allow me to print via Ethernet using parallel printer. I mean, a kind of box with one RJ input (so I could set a IP address) and some parallel ports, where I would connect printers. So I would be able to set printers in my linux (even Winblows and Applows) to print over network. Is such a thing possible? Is there a such device?

Re: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
Try looking at Linksys 2 port print server or the HP printservers. Plug them into the network do some configurations and boom ya got a printer on the network. Now go and install cups on your linux machines and configure it and for your windblows install the drivers for the printserver select your printer reboot and bam start printing.

RE: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
You are looking for a print server (aka a printer sharing device) as he noted. These are small devices about the size of a paperback, that have a parallel port and a single button on them. H.P. originated these devices AFAIK. You are effectively purchasing a very inexpensive computer (so it's not really computer free) in a tiny case that despools the jobs. Telnet, and HP Software (though there are other manufacturers which make them now) permit you to modify and control the device. Some HP printers have these servers integrated into them, notably the printers with Ethernet ports. Some printers provide these devices as add ons for Approx 250.00 USD or even less. HP also manufactures a single unit which will permit you to hook up THREE parallel printers to the one printer sharing device. You CAN indeed print to these printers directly although it is far better to let a Samba/Linux box spool the jobs for you to increase speed. I.E. Samba gets the printouts from the workstations quickly. The workstations are free to go about their business. Samba sends the output to the printer server as it can handle the data. You can have a large number of these devices on your network. On one LAN we have 40 such devices, most integrated into the printers themselves. They can be manually configured or obtain their configuration information via DHCP. Under Linux and Winblows, the queues can be configured so that enough information is provided to the OS, so that the operating system can automatically configure itself to use the printer... That is you bring up Cups or Windows, select the queue, and you are ready to go. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Alan |Wilter Sousa da Silva |Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 2:59 PM |To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' |Subject: RE: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet? | | |Hi, | | Samba is fine, but it means a computer to do the job. |We want a computer free solution. | |On Thu, 6 Dec 2001, Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SICN wrote: | | Sounds like you want a print server adapter. | Bestbuy and probably everywhere like them have them | for around $89 or so.

Re: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
What your are looking for is an HP Jetdirect EX Plus. We use this devise at our office. It's a little box with a parallel port for a printer, and an ethernet port. I think they will only support HP printer, but I'm not sure. Jerry Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva wrote: Hi, Samba is fine, but it means a computer to do the job. We want a computer free solution.

Re: [expert] Parallel printer over Ethernet?
We have had great service from Extended Systems' Pocket Pro (must get pro to get IP stack). These are very small boxes that hang off the parallel port, and convert to 10bT. It includes a web server for managing the unit, and is compatible with HP's JetDirect managers. HTH Ken Jerry Sommerdorf wrote: What your are looking for is an HP Jetdirect EX Plus.
