- Hi netlanders,
-
- I don't know whether this is right place to ask this question. But, anyway,...
-
- Our group has more than 10 PCs, one Dataproducts LZR-1260 b/w laser printer,
- one HP Deskjet 500C color printer and one HP Scanjet IIp b/w scaner.
- At moment, the printers and scanner are not networked, even though our
- PCs are networked through ethnet to a Unix server.
-
- We now want our printers and scanner to be networked as well. What do we need?
- Hardware, software? Someone mentioned FASTPORT (TCP/IP network print server)
- by MiLAN Technology should be OK for our purpose. Is that right?
- Any other options?
-
- Your help would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Please send responses to my account since I don't read this newsgroup very often.
-
- I will post a summary if there are enough responses and interests.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
