[wellylug] [Fwd: PDF Service with Samba LG #72]

[Lindsay Hunter]

I use the Trendware equivalent.  "The TE100-PS3plus is a multiprotocol 
print server that turns any stand-alone printer into a shared network 
printer. With the auto-sensing 10/100Mbps RJ-45 port, three parallel 
printer ports, the TE100-PS3plus can service up to three parallel 
printers in almost any network environment."  I am only using one USB 
port at the moment and had to learn that Linux uses port 9102 rather 
than lp2 (samba and windows ) but apart from that, it is a gem for the 
reasons you give.
