I want to start by apologizing if this is being posted to the wrong group.
Feel free to point me in the right direction.

I have several laser printers that I would like to set up on my network.
TCP/IP running on thin ethernet.

I want to use the parallel port because the postscript files that we
print transmit much faster than they would over a serial connection at 19200.

I saw a box for sale that was around 1500 bucks... Does anyone know of
anything cheaper ?  I dont need clusters of these printers off of one box
... ideally they would be located centrally  ...

I am sure I am not the first to encounter such a problem.


Thanks for any help you can give.  Rob.
