Hi
I have 2 PC's networked via a Siemens router. I also have a printer
plugged into one of the PC's which is accessible from both PC's but
both of them need to be powered on so If I want to print from the PC
that isn't connected to the printer, I must turn on the one that is.
Is it possible for me to connect the Printer to one of the router
inputs so it's available as a network device therefore I won't need to
turn on the PC that the printer is connected to? Bit confusing but I'm
sure you know what I mean.
Thanks for any help.

Well, you could buy a little print server for a small price,
which will have parallel and USB connectors on it and
an RJ45 connector that goes to your router. That will
probably work, but make sure to read the customer
reviews to see if most folks did okay with it. There
will always be a few who didn't, but if most did,
it probably will work just fine. :)

The following is part of my auto-rotating sig file
and not part of the message above.


"Hence, the coming of the Lord to get His own
is and has been IMMINENT. It could happen
any moment. It might not happen for a couple
more thousand years. The coming for the saints
(pretribualtion rapture/resurrection) is and
has been IMMINENT and shall remain so. Amen!:
- Futurist Usenet poster

How is something "imminent" for two thousand years?
And how does something "remain imminent" for thousands
of years more? This is Biblical acrobatics, designed
to make the Bible all about you today!

Imminent = About to occur; impending.

And there is no way around that! The Futurist word
play regarding the Second Coming and the fact that
both Christ and the Apostles taught that it was indeed
immiment and so, they are forced into these Biblical
acrobatics to try to explain this fact away!
