Default Network printer



Is there a way to convert a none network printer (no conection) to a network
printer?

Kind Regards

Default Re: Network printer

In general, yes. A device known as a printer server has one connection for
your Ethernet network and one for your printer. Most - but not ALL -
printers will work with one of these boxes.

If you are purchasing one for use with Windows 98, make sure it comes with a
TCP/IP printer driver utility (the HP print servers do). Windows 98 doesn't
support printing directly to TCP/IP printers without a helper program.
