It would be kind of helpful if Amiga could print to network printers, as that's how I've got everything hooked up, now...  The parallel port is really pretty obsolete...


You mean print to a printer on the network?  The amiga can do that...  I had a setup where my wife's printer was on her PC upstairs and I could print to it from the amiga in the basement over a wireless ethernet connection.  You have to get involved with printer servers and all that good stuff, but it is possible.  There was a script called printspool or something that would wake up every 30 seconds or so and check to see if there were any amiga print requests.  If so, it would automatically copy it to a spool directory on the PC and print it.

Downside is that I would have to run up 2 flights of stairs to get the printout.  :lol:

How on earth did you connect your Amiga wirelessly?  pleasse explain as i am dying to do this!


OK, sorry... bit of a misunderstanding...  The amiga (and dreamcast) was wired to the hub, but HER computer / printer was on a wireless connection along with our laptop.  

It still may be possible to do wireless with the amiga though, but the amiga may have to be 'tethered' to a PC.
