Venture<P>Actually a printer physically connected to any Mac in the network can be shared. That printer need not be ethernet ready. A USB, or serial(8pin din) printer can be shared over the network. I use a number of 6115's as printer servers to legacy serial printers (dot-matrix, laser, daisywheel etc.). The same can be done for newer USB printers (although we haven't had to replace any of our legacy printers due to the problem you describe). <P>Select the printer turn on sharing and your done.<P>In any case, you are correct in your assertion that retrofitting network capabilities into serial printers can be expensive. I'm simply suggesting that it is not always necessary.
