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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
