I'm not sure if this should go here or in Hardware since it really
concerns both. Lets try here and see whose feathers ruffle!

I now have an OS/2 Warp4 system, an eCS 1.2 system, and an SUSE 10.0
Linux system running.  RSN I'll be adding an IBM Netvista 2.4GHz P4 I
bought for dirt from Tiger Direct.  I also have a laptop (a Thinkpad,
BTW) I use occasionally that boots both W4 and Win98.

And, I have one printer (and no room for another).

All of the above can/will connect to the Internet, but I have never
bothered to install peer on any of them 'cause until now I never needed
to. I have heard about these print server thingies, and read a bit about
them long enough ago that I've forgotten what I read. Does anyone have
any idea if I could just set all my applications to print to the IP
address assigned to the printer (or the print server, whatever)  OR
somehow instruct all the operating systems that anything sent to the
printer goes to the IP address?  I'd imagine that if push came to shove
I could always print to a file and NcFTP the file to the the print server. 


Does anyone have any experience with these things, or suggestions as to
how I might pull it off?  I'm more concerned about it working with Warp4
and eCS. I think Linux will be a cake-walk.

Sorry to ruin your week, Dale. :(
