will my PPSX1 only work with novell? (linksys print server)

[ViviTheMage]

I just grabbed this thing off of a friend and I guess it needs a novell network to have the printer networked?

is this correct...
I do have a windows 2003 server running, would it work with that, or no?

Playstation?

linksys print server

IPX


edit: wait..why in the hell would a LINKSYS print server need to use IPX?


edit: bnasically, I came to the conclusion that your friend must be wroing

no, i got it from him.

he had a novell network going on....

so im curious if it will work on my network (with 2k3 server) and if so, what do i have to configure :S

I saw this on an ebay posting about my ppsx1...

The EtherFast 10/100 PrintServer is the easiest and fastest way to add a printer to your net-work. Because it is equipped with a high-speed printer port, the 10/100 PrintServer allows any PC on the network to print to any combination of laser, color, bubble jet, ink jet, and even dot matrix printers? including the latest generation of bi-directional and bi-tronic printers from HP, Lexmark, and others. The EtherFast 10/100 PrintServer is the ideal choice for both large corporations and small workgroups with printer sharing needs. Plus, it attaches directly to your network?s cabling, so no dedicated print server PC is required. Each 1-Port PrintServer comes with a full suite of management utilities and support for multiple network protocols. Adding a PrintServer to your 10/100 LAN will save money and increase your network?s efficiency.


basicaly saying I dont need to define a server...but how do I set it up to get hte printer to work?

Hazy? All night geek sessions should be standard practice.
