More info?)
a print server is a device that would attach to your printer and then make
it apear to be a networked shared printer availible on the network. You can
find them at most electronics places that sell computer parts. (best buy,
office max, compusa, places like that.) They come in both usb and parallel
conections and after a network cable to your network, just a few settings
(from the manufacturers manual) and it is shared acrossed the network. You
shoul be able to password protect the share and only give it out to those
needing to print.
