Digital BW, The Print

I simply want to use the network because the big printer is in
another room from the 
computer workstation, and already connected through network cabling
in the walls and a 
couple of gigabit switches.  It is close enough to connect via USB,
but not as clean with 
calbles on the floor going through doorways etc.  So, QTR doesn't
NEED a network, you 
can use USB.
