I've used one of these on a hp printer:

Being stocked up 4 boxes of toner ay $40 each and a LaserJet 5P, which gives me 5-7,000, can you let assist with two items
1. The Serial to USB I have been using for XP first came out.
2. Windows 7 requirted a new one.
Is anyway to get the HP on to my router with some type of print server. Yes, I do understand this can accomplished with a NAS, but does no one make a pront server with one serial plug and one CAT5 so I can make things simply and add it to the router. (of course the benefit of 8 other PC's being able tol print is heaily weighted.
I was once able to trick home group and somehow it worked. I could print from Laptop. However, my most recent build is not working, although I did get one device to recognize the printger as an IP, but only for my laptop. No one else can print to it.
Permission issue possible?
Thanks.
