This provide one or more parallel and and USB Port and an Ethernet connection. It can also manage your queue and supports many protocols including IPP and LPD and Windows Shared printer modes.

This is probably the answer i was looking for, as keeping a machine on and being within cable length are a little too restrictive. So essentially my simple connect to ethernet solution isn't a solution. My main requirement is to be able to print wirelessely from my laptop without keeping the desktop on. Any suggestions on how I may achieve that?? Im ready to buy some new hardware, if it helps(like something that supplies the print server) and doesn't take up too much space. > > anand > > ___ > ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ > -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

You can use a printer sharer - the parallel cable from the printer connects to this device, and paralles cables from both comps go into this thing. There is a switch, and depending on its position, you can sepect jobs from which printer go into this printer. 2. Use cups. The printer stays connected to the desktop (or any one computer), and all machines send print jobs to this machine. First option requires the machines to be within cable length of each other; the second requires the machine to which the printer is connected to be on always. HTH. -- Mahesh T.

[ilugd] [OT] Converting a non network printer to a network printer
Hi, I have 2 computers at home, one desktop computer and a laptop. I share my internet connection using a wireless router, hence have both my computers are also on a network.I have printer(HP 5600 officejet all in 1) at home which doesnt have an ethernet port for me connect it to a network. I was thinking if its possible for me to connect my printer to the router by using a USB to LAN converter. So essentially what I mean is Printer's USB cord -> USBtoLAN Converter(this gives me an ethernet port) -> router (using a cable) Will this allow me to print from desktop and laptop?? or maybe my question should be will my printer be able to accquire an ip address from the dhcp on the router, and will this be accessible to me over the network for printing?? Any other suggestions for converting the non network printer to a networked one?? thanks -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
