Subject: Re: networking classic hardware
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
??I am thinking of networking a group of classic computers and printers
??computers: (only listed ones without Ethernet port)
??A500
??A1200
??Mircobee premium plus (classic mircobee software dose not support Ethernet)
??printers:
??pen plotter
??dot matrix (two lost in the QLD flood 2010-2011, looking for another)
??daisy wheel (have not got one yet)
It is not clear to me what you want to do.
Do you want ot share several pritners between several computers so that
any machine cna print to any printer. Do you want to allow multiple
printing at oen tiem (so tha, for example, the A500 and use the the
plotter and the Microbee cna use a dotmatrix printer at the same time).
DO you wnate otbe able to transfer data between the computers?
yes, but only
between the classic system and the linux server
