Hi there, I remember having read, sometime ago, about a product that allows an HP Laserjet III printer to be attached directly to the ethernet, without the need of a printer server. But I can't remeber where I saw the ad. Was I dreaming ? If not, does anybody know what product will do this, and also work on Netware 3.11 ? Thanks, /Kiko camargo@cs.columbia.edu

But I can't remeber where I saw the ad. The Intel NetPort will do this. It works great! I have several of them and have had only one problem in over 6 months of use. The problem was corrected with a simple reset command. MUCH faster than the NOVELL 2.15c Print Server and Remote Print Server and MUCH more reliable IMHO. Can only _assume_ it will also work with NOVELL 3.x See INFOWORLD July 30, 1990: page 72 for a review. Call Intel, 1-800-538-3373 for the details.

I'm not sure if it actually uses the Novell Print Server or what, but I don't have to have the Print Server VAP running. I have one HP Series III which still uses the Novell Remote Print Server Software. The last time the server went down (power outage) the Intel NetPorts came back up by themselves while the Novell Print Server did not. I was still able to use the NetPorts but not the other, until I interveined! John Harris johnh@eecs.ee.pdx.edu CAD LAB Supervisor Portland State University

Intel Netports not only work with Netware 386, our tests show that it is *faster* than printing to a local printer! Love to know how they pulled *that* off... -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com

Just saw a benchmark on printing a page with a lot of graphics on an LJ2 at the parallel port. The time from the light coming on to the drum motor starting was 3:00 for the Netport, 1:17 for the FAXpress. Also saw Castelle just announced 10BaseT and 16 Mbit Token Ring models, too (we run thin Ethernet). __________/\/\.\/\/. "May all your sins be original, or good copies."

Since Novell uses drive F: through Z:, I can't use my local drive F: and G: whenever I log into the network. Is there anyway that I can use these "lost" local drive?
