Networking a 2200

2002-12-17 by jkgizzi <jim@hicam.com>

I figure with the experience in this group someone should have 
already successfully networked an Epson 2200.  What is the best way 
to accomplish this?  We currently "share" the printer but this slows 
things down a bit.  Are there ethernet print server devices that 
would allow us to network this printer and maintain printer speeds.

Epson only recommends a parallel print server but my experience with 
these is that the printer slows down to the point that it is 
virtually unusable.  There must be a better way.  Note that this 
printer only prints photos and therefore we are always dealing with 
large files.  Is it realistic to expect the $300-$400 print servers 
to allow us to do this?

TIA,
