Jack, I have a HP Laserjet 6MP that is connected to a router via a "Netgear Mini Print Server" works very well.

The S900 is wired directly into the wireless router and hooked into a HP Laserjet 5MP through the serial port. I would like to allow all the computers on the network to print to the 5MP. Is it possible? Is there an ethernet box or card that would accomodate the 5MP? At its present location, I run a wird directly to the router with no problems. Or do I need to purchase a printer with network capabilities? The 5MP is a real workhorse and meets our family needs, which is just black and white -- nothing fancy. We also have a Unisys UDS 10 (Lexmark Optra 310) in another part of the house. Could that printer serve our network? Any suggestions on the best alternative? 1. Update the 5MP, if possible. 2. Use the UDS10. 3. Buy a networkable computer -- preferably something second- hand on ebay. Thank you, Jack Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
