I have a ML-1450 with the Postscript (emulator) option. I have the parallel port connected to my ancient SMC 7004ABR print server/router/firewall/modem share thing (SMC sucks BTW) and it works great with OS 9 (LPR), OS X, and XP.

I think OS X (CUPS) and XP can do it w/o the Postscript option, but OS 9 I do not think will work w/o special drivers which I am not sure Samsung has.

My old Epson 850NE with Ethernet works great too and there were drivers available for OS 9 & XP and it works under OS X w/CUPS driver.

My new Brother MFC-3820 works as a printer over the network for OS 9, X, XP and via USB for OS X (haven't tried the other combos) and was $100. Color quality is not that great though.

I bought a Samsung ML-1450 laserprinter to use with a C-500. I was hoping the printer port on the Asante router would connect it to the C-500 but no dice. So I got a USB card for the C-500 which worked fine.

Then I decided to use one of the two card slots for a video card--eliminating the USB card-- so now I'm back to an Epson Color Stylus 900 as a serial printer. If I spent $150 for a network card for the Samsung, I'm hoping there might be a less expensive alternative such as a serial to USB adaptor that might work . . . or maybe something else?

Thanks,

Spence
