A question; I have a printer at work (HP 6980 inkjet, they won't give me a
colour laser..!) that is at present connected directly to my PC via USB.
Due to the networking system we have installed (Citrix) I can't print to
this printer from networked applications as it is a virtual desktop and
doesn't see any ports on the local machine (most terminals in the company
are diskless workstations). I'm getting rather fed up with walking to the
nearest network printer some 2 minutes away and so I need either (a) this
printer networking or (b) a separate network printer provided.
My manager is reluctant to pay for a separate printer, and to be honest I
don't have the space for it, so I want to know can the 6980 be networked
(it has an Ethernet port) at the same time as it's connected to the local
machine's USB port and will it respond to both when a print job is sent..?
If it can, all well and good, if not I am going to be struggling to get
another printer installed..!
