If you have a printer with 68k Mac drivers and an ethernet LAN, grab one of the HP JetDirect EX printserver boxes off eBay. You want to make certain to get the Ethernet version! There's also a JetDirect EX Plus 3 that can run 3 printers. Make sure you get the power supply because it uses a proprietary connector.
HP has a list of printers that will work with the servers. Basically any that isn't a GDI or "winprinter" or host processing printer. Several older mid to high end HP DeskJets fall into that category and have Mac drivers. They're the first generation HP USB/Parallel printers. Some other brands will also work. --- Charles Shannon Hendrix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The thread is about getting a Mac to talk to a UNIX > print server. > > I know all about what a network PostScript printer > can do.
