QMS, Inc., of Mobile Alabama sells a box we call "PrintLink".  It has a
Thick or thin Ethernet connection and acts like an FTP server.  You call
it up with FTP, send your file over, and it eventually despools it to the
attached printer.  The sender is never made to wait on the printer.  The
box has a console so that you can see the queue and delete jobs or put them
on hold, etc.  You can also see the queue by using the FTP "ls" command.
It will support up to three printers.  QMS's number is 205/633-4300.
I'm not sure who the sales person is, but ask for Sarah Young; she can
answer questions about it and direct you.
