Network Print Server in Mixed Environment
I have an old PC running under Win98 as a print server on my home network. It's been giving me a lot of problems lately and would rather recycle the old boy. Network print servers like an HP jetdirect are not too expensive on eBay but they are older models (like the Jetdirect EX Plus) and I don't know if the Powerbook I'm getting would recognise the printer, an HP 2100 Laserjet with parallel interface. I don't need wireless as there's a network cable handy.
Any other products out there I should consider? I'll be sharing this printer with 3 other XP machines.
Thanks for your help!
