I used to do this at home with an IOGear USB print server and my  
Epson R300. It worked great, until somebody washed the little print  
server box with orange juice. An IOGear box costs about $60, and  
there are cheaper competitors.

I now do the same thing now with the Linux box in my downstairs  
office. That Linux mail server we retired at Pitt a while back could  
probably do a good job at it because this is almost a no-load job.  
We'd need a small (5G or so) hard drive and maybe a USB card.
