CompuAdd sells intelligent switch boxes.. they automatically route the proper
computer to the printer as needed.  Can't find my CompuAdd catalog at the
moment, but I believe the box lists for $80-90. 

While I'm typing this.. the company I work for is replacing what's left of
their Novell netwroks with Ethernet.  While I'm not involved in that project,
the techies tell me that Novell is a monsterous pain in the ---... but
Ethernet zips along rather nicely at 10meg/sec.  Not to mention being standard
protocol amoung nearly all platforms.
