Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Network-Connected Printers

I'm looking for some guidance.

For the past five or six years, I've been using Panasonic KX-P73xx printers
(I'm on my second one). I've had good printing results with these printers
(using the HP4000 print drivers), and they have had features -- especially
automatic duplex printing -- that I have really appreciated. But, they have
both suffered from some marginal mechanical engineering, and my current
printer died yesterday afternoon. These printers are no longer in
production, so I've been looking for a good alternative.

I've heard some good things about the Hewlett Packard HP-2015dn. In
particular, this printer can apparently be driven effectively using the
HP4000 drivers that I'm currently using. However, the only available
interfaces are USB and EtherNet (no parallel connection). Since I share my
printer among three systems, anyway, the EtherNet interface seems to make
good sense (and, I'm a bit leery of trying to get things to work on USB,
anyway).

So, to my questions. What is needed to set up network (vs parallel)
printing? Is there a "cookbook" around somewhere that provides the necessary
guidance? If not, is there someone on this mailing list who is willing to
work with me on this via email?

Appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. Thanks.
