Print Server

[Phonez]

This might be a simple question for some people out there but here goes.

Is it possible to set up a print server which will manage 6 parallel printers either connected to it or over a network.

I have looked at netports and adapter cards but is there an easier way?

Thanks in advance

HP JetDirect Ex Plus box to plug into the printers. Then go to HP.com and get hpweb jet admin, (Free), assign the jet direct boxes an IP address. Then on the server, tell it to install a local printer, but change (On the bottom) to a tcp/ip address. Choose the ip's of the boxes and just follow the instructions. All my printers are on tcp/ip. Easy to do. Glen A. Johnson
