Kevin/Gunnerboy,
I'd like to add my $0.02...I have users who have installed USB printers on
their desktops and tried to "share" them on the network and they have become
very finicky..somethime they work and sometimes they do not work and are
invisible to other desktops on the network.
As a rule I do not use USB printers in a business environment.
Ordinarily, I buy a netgear PS101 print server that can be accessed and
configured from the server using TCPIP and attach a centronics(parallel)
1294 type printer to it.
The cost savings on the cheapo USB printers does not outweigh the support
costs and aggravation.
