We currently use bus and tag that connects to a converter box and workstation running software from Solimar Systems to print to enterprise network printers. I would like to eliminate the bus and tag and just use IP.

But in Finland, it can keep you from duty. Some Finnish soldiers can't complete their six months of military service because of their Net addiction. Evidently, they miss Googling and shopping and all that fun stuff so much that they can't hack it (no pun intended) and are being excused from duty. So these days, Cpl. Max Klinger of "M*A*S*H" fame wouldn't need a dress -- just a fast connection and no life -- for that coveted Section 8. And it would help if he were Finnish.
