RE: [PLUG] Linux Printer Reccomendation?

Title: RE: [PLUG] Linux Printer Reccomendation?
maybe you could grab a cheap external HP direct box off
ebay, then you turn ANY printer into a network printer.
Now whether you have the main control be via the RH or
the windows box is up to you, or you could do the choas
route and have each send their own jobs.
