Hello out there,

For a cutomer of me I am in need of information.

They have a setup of a HP Laserjet III. Using a serial connection and a
data switch they have 4 PC's connected to it.

Now wat I'd like to do is to connect an Amiga to it using the centronics
connection of the laserjet. (and Amiga ofcourse)

My questions are:

- Is it easy to switch the printer from serial to paralel and back?

- Is it possible (using some hardware booster) to connect the amiga
  to it using a 40 meter (about 120 ft) cable?

Thanx,

--
