[G4] Re: New USB Device Needed

[Richard Northouse]

Sam,

Look into MacLan -- a software package that runs on the PC and lets you use
an apple network with the PC. Therefore you connect your printer as a
network device and both computers can use it without any wire change.

There is such a thing.  It's called a network print server.

We're using an Iogear USB model GPSU01 with Mac, Windows, and Linux 
boxes.  It works great.
