I have a workgroup printer attached to an Ethernet network. Spooling
services are currently provided by a dedicated NT Server. I want to
take the NT server out of the config and replace it with a standalone
print server device - a simple box that requires near-zero
administration. I can find plenty of print server devices for
connecting up printers with parallel and USB ports, but my machine has
its own ethernet port. I need a device that can handle the connection
to the network and the printer via ethernet and do the spooling.

Can anyone offer suggestions for something suitable.

Thanks.
Petre.

You probably don't need a print server because there's one already
built into the printer. Find the docs and read up.

It's a Tektronics 560 Extended Features. The docs make no mention of a
print server being built into the machine - just an explanation of how
to connect the machine to a network and set it up via an NT server for
spooling etc.. I figured since there are now so many very cheap
USB/Parallel stand-alone print server devices it wouldn't be too
difficult to find one to serve an Ethernet printer directly... Surely
someone makes such a device?

Thanks.
Petre.
