I'm currently supporting a printer vendor with a client issue. Their client will not accept TCP/IP printers because they're worried that someone will "tap-in" to the line and pickup the data in the clear. They're insisting on an ESCON/parallel attachment. The printer vendor I'm working with got rid of the parallel interface 5 years ago and doesn't really want to support it. Has anyone ever dealt with this paranoia yet? Do any printers on the market support an SSL interface?
VPS from LRS has support for encrypted printing. I think HP, LEXMARK, and probably other printers have support for this. This may not be a standard feature. You will probably need to order the printer with this, or replace the NIC in an existing printer. We have not tried this, so I don't know what other issues there might be. -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
