You can always use an Asante or Farallon Ethernet/LocalTalk adapter and an ethernet hub to network the printer without physical switching. Check out: <http://www.atpm.com/network/printing/index.html> Does your Epson 740 not have Serial, USB, and Paralle ports, like my Epson Color Stylus 900, so that you can have dual direct connections to your Wallstreet and iMac anyway? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
