Hi,
I've got a small hard-wired home network comprising of two destops and
(occasionally) a laptop. To each of the desktops I have a printer connected
(a Brother laser downstairs connected via a USB port and a colour inkjet
upstairs with an LPT connector) and they are shared over the network.
I've recently purchased a photo printer (Epson R300) which I would also like
to connect to the network, but think it would be easier if all of them
could be made independant of PC's, rather than relying on a PC being
switched to access the PC.
Is there a way of doing this without too much rewiring? I have a 4-port
USB, a 4-port hub and a broadband modem with a built in hub available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Pete
