So each classic machine is only outputting data, right? no, I be running web
browsers, telnet terminals, etc

on the classic system I am going to install
generic printer drivers
(HP-GL, postscript, ESC/P)
the linux server is going to decide witch printer to send the file to
using CUPS
What is CUPS?
As I undertand it, then, you want ot have paralle input ports on the
linux box.
no, I am think of using these parallel printer servers connected to the
printers
the classic systems print request is send to the linux box
the linux box sends the print request to the compatibly printer or save it as a pdf file
<snip DO you wnate otbe able to transfer data between the
computers?
yes, but only between the classic system and the linux server -tony
