Printer server help

[Stevehewitt]

Hey,

Now, I know this is stupid, but I am just not with it. I have 4 printers on this network with win2k server and win2k pro workstations. My prob is that how do I connect up multiple printers to my print server that has the one parallel port?
They are fine locally, but I want them on a print server, and all have a parallel port, no RJ-45 port for Networking.

How do I attatch them to my machine?

Steve,

You actually want to get a device to connect these as network devices. HP's use a jetdirect but every manufacturers should have some type of device. This will enable the printers to plugged in as network devices and obtain ip addresses. Then the print server will connect to them by ip address over your network.

Or you can add more parallel ports...
