    Red face Print server

    I have 3 computers on my home office network. 2 are win xp and 1 mac 10.4
    I also have 3 printers I would like to connect so that all computers can share them. Is there a print server that will work? Is that the way I should go? If so, how do I go about setting it up?


    TIA
    Rod

    if you have a printer hooked up to each pc you can share them. I'm not sure if you can share a printer with a mac.
    common sense isn't all that common

    What sort of printers are they?

    If you can get proper network cards for the printers, that's ideal (although expensive). Otherwise, I've had decent success with some of the parallel-to-network print servers (mostly D-Link DP-301P+). Never tried the USB-to-parallel ones, but USB stuff tends to be more problematic when you try to do anything other than simple device-PC connections.
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.
