| Hi there. After looking at the printer, I would advice on an Axis print server. It connects to the old huge parallell-port and has a web interface. It supports all kinds of protocols, for all OS´s. It will give you an ethernet port on the other side, for your network. |

| What version of the 8100 do you have? The N and above models (N, DN, MFP) should already have an internal JetDirect print server and a 10/100 ethernet card installed.

| According to HP's site (4th row in table), OS X (10.2+) includes drivers for the 8100 (that'll work with JetDirect). So you should be good there. As far as setup, here's some links from HP's support center:
What version (or versions of) OS X are the client computers running?

| Not 100% sure on the Novel thing, but I'm pretty sure you don't. As far as the clients: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/R...20030130123122 You might want to print a config page from the printer to make sure you have the queue name right and other info.
