    Hi,
    Has anyone tried to connect a printer to a pSeries system via the
    USB port. That is; configure the printer as a locally attached
    device via the pSeries USB port?
    I know next to nothing about network printing.
    I have been told that I can connect a printer to the pSeries box
    via a network. Just what does this mean? That is; just how does
    one setup a network printer? Is this explained somewhere in one
    of the AIX manuals?

    Problem: I currently have a 9114-275 which has a parallel
    port which I use to locally attach a printer.
    The system I am upgrading to 8203-E4A does not
    have a parallel port. It has USB ports and
    ethernet ports. {New printer will have
    both USB and ethernet ports!}
    How do I configure the printer so that
    AIX recognizes it and send print jobs to the
    printer.

    I would appreciate any help I can get!

    Bye,
    Dwight
