They have ip's assigned to each of them on a 10.x.x.x network and getting a new Linux box to print properly is a snap with CUPS. You don't need a bloody print server ..get the printer with a reasonable amount of memory and a network card then run though the simple menu and assign it an ip on your network. This isn't rocket science. The interface to the HP Laserjet printers is much more simple then even my Panasonic VCR is. And this is much less expensive then 20 W2k licenses and letters from the BSA asking the company to pay a second time around for thing's they've paid for. BTW. There is this awesome CUPS book at Barnes and Noble. It's easy to understand and pretty much spells out how do most any of these things. If you don't want to spend the money on the book then read the docs that are available by doing a google search. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
