362164 2005-06-08 13:19:00 can anyone recommend a suitable print server for this printer, i know of the hp 300x but apparently it doesnt support it, i have found numerous parallel port print servers but im worried im throwing money away as they may not be compatible. I have found one maybe a ZeroOne ZOT717? Tux (606)
362165 2005-06-08 14:08:00 I have installed two of these (www.dlink.com.au) as print servers. They worked a treat for old brother fax/printers. Havent tried a HP 810c tho. Rob99 (151)

362167 2005-06-09 10:25:00 I am not familiar with that printer, but I bought the DSE parallel print server for my HP 2300d Laserjet a couple of weeks ago, connected it up to my Dynalink modem router via crossover ethernet cable (also from DSE), configured the three computers, and now all of them connect to the printer either wirelessly or through the LAN. Sweet as, and now I don't need to leave the main PC on so the others can access the HP2300d as a shared printer.

You could try buying one from DSE and if it doesn't work, they will take it back. The only trick is making sure you have the right ethernet cable to connect it to your router - if you have the wrong cable it looks like it should be working because the light comes up, but you cannot configure it. The problem is that the manual is in somewhat fractured translated English...
