I have a standard usb printer that is currently shared (windows xp print sharing), but I need it available on the network for other people to print to directly via TCP/IP.
The main reason im asking is because I work at a university and when printing transcripts a remote server actually sends the document directly to the IP address of the printer; and since this printer isnt networkable, it doesnt have its own IP.
For this purpose I picked up a relatively cheap print server , but it required each computer to install proprietary drivers in order to access the print server - this obviously wont work since the server wont have these installed.
The printer is a Konica Minolta MagiColor 2400W, and im just looking for a way to get this printer on the network, peer to peer sharing in windows xp just wont do the trick...
Any ideas?
