Yup. I've got an IOGear server for a Lexmark laser, shared by Macs, Windows and Linux machines on the network. I've got an HP OfficeJet d145 with the optional JetDirect interface. Each has an IP address. (Sometimes they need some tweaking to set them up right, but they usually come with DHCP enabled, grab an IP address, then you use the web interface to tweak them the way you want.) The HP is 192.168.1.99 and the Lexmark .98. With the Open Source HP OfficeJet and Imaging software, I can not only print, but scan as well. Once set up, they Just work. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
