Nonsense. You just don't need a network interface if you don't have one. This is Linux, not WinBloze. I have an old Kyocera FS-1020D postscript printer which has just a USB interface. I connect it to one machine and make it available from there to others on the network. No problem. CUPS can do that. (OT: A well known subscriber here very generously gave me a USB-network interface box so that I could take the network route, but I'm afraid I haven't got round to installing it yet because of another complication that's cropped up, requiring a more-or-less complete rewiring of the whole bunch of systems. My joints aren't as flexible as they used to be.) -- Regards, Peter.
