Thread: HPLaserjet5P Network Card Wanted

  1. #1

    Default HPLaserjet5P Network Card Wanted

    Have an HP Laserjet 5P connected to a Linux box via its parallel port, but want to be able to connect it to this box and another on a network via a network card.

    Is there a network card that will do the job? It would have to have a parallel connector for the printer and an RJ45 connector for the Ethernet router.

    Thanks for any help!

    You Might be able to use the HP Jetdirect 170X Print Server. I'm not familar with printer setup via linux. Are talking about Red Hat?

    Wouldn't the easiest thing to do is set up your linux box as the print server via CUPS and print to it from other machines. I was able to do this it takes some work but cheaper than a network card. Linux is server software make it work for you.
