Hi
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has connected a digital photocopier to a Linux server to use the copier's printer features. I know many of these machines can be attached directly to a network with their own IP address if a network card is installed, but can they be connected as a 'normal' printer to the server? I assume if the copier is Postscript compatible, one would just install it under Linux as a Postscript printer.
This is no problem, you don't even need drivers for it. Say you shared it with samba the win clients can use theirs to do all the nice stuff like duplex, DIN A3 etc. It does not need to be postscript compatible if the clienst have the correct drivers. You can make it behave like a postscript printer if you use ghostscript but you may loose some special futures. The only thing is that it is needed to switch off extra form feed at the end of a job. Forgot how that was done but must be in the list archives.
