printing options ( was no subject)

[John M Phillips]

An alternative printer connection for the epson 750 is an AXIS 
1440.  This is a bridge from the printers parallel connection to
an ethernet connection.  The epson then becomes a stand-alone
network printer. See http://www.axis.com/products/axis_1440.

I am not sure what the price is now, but this does work well
with cups.  If you already have a home network with more than
one computer, this is a good solution.
