Digital BW, The Print

Bernie,

If you have a network, try a USB print server. You can get these wired or
wireless. I have a C82 on one - it's wired - and it works fine. I can access
it from any computer on my network.

Subject: [Digital BW] Printer in next room - how?




Hello, in the future I would like to get a larger printer than my
current Stylus 2100 - maybe a Stylus 4000, maybe even a 7600. In
either case, I wouldn't want to have this huge machine standing in my
living room where my computer is, but in my sleeping room where I have
some empty space...

Now my question is how to connect this printer to my PC: To connect it
directly via cable is quite far ( cable would have to be at least
15-20m, it's on the other end of the flat) and I would have to lay out
a cable through my whole appartment - How about wireless? Would I have
to have a whole PC or would a small hardware receiving unit be enough?
I am not experienced at all with this stuff...

Could it be done with a notebook - (I have a IBM thinkpad - how many
MB of RAM would be recommended just to make the notebook print the
files - no editing of course).

Thanks for your input,

Bernhard
