I'm not sure on this, but I would suspect that once it is shared on the
WinBloz box that to access it you would have to run Samba. Also, does it have
more than the USB port? If so, one could go to the Win box and the other to the
Ubie box. The problem with multi-function printers is they have a complicated
driver and bi-directional communications, even for the older parallel ones.
Printing on a "Network" is always simplified with units that do one thing.
Another way to get at hardware is to hang it on the network. I did IP printing
through SCO Unix all over the world to our various locations without a hitch.
It is just something to think about when building a network. All the problems
associated with a network are there no matter what the size. Anyhow, that's a
little more than 2 cents worth this morning. Later....
