Print server to a USB multifunction printer
Allow me to apologize right away if this belongs in a different newsgroup,
but this seems like a decent starting point, so here goes: I have a client/customer that has a multifunction HP OfficeJet (USB) that they want to incorporate into their network using a dedicated print server. They purchased a Linksys PSUS4, only to be told by tech support that the print server would only support the most basic printing functions and they would lose scanning, PC faxing, etc. Is there any way to have a multifunction USB device networked without losing this functionality, other than using a PC as a server? Any products available, or any other solutions that people have gotten working? Thanks in advance, and if this belongs somewhere else, please let me know. jk |

Unlikely to find much as a cheap PC will handle the job.
There are scanner sharing packages available, here's one http://www.remote-scan.com/index.php...age=googlead_2 Print servers have at most limited device feedback. "joekeg" wrote in message ...
