(well, long-ish) My fileserver is in the cellar. 10 to 15 metres away and on the ground floor is my multi-function USB printer. I wish to connect one to the other by some method that preferably does not involve running a new cable, though I'll accept that as a last resort. HP do a nice little jetdirect converter box for the princely sum of an arm and a leg. Alternatively, loads of people do USB "print server" devices, some of which allegedly even speak IPP, but the only one I've tried was rubbish and crashed regularly, so I wouldn't try another unless someone told me it definitely worked happily with Linux. I don't want a separate printer and scanner as space is limited, but if there's a reasonably-priced network-attached printer/scanner/copier, I'd go for that. Any recommendations? (And no, changing my name to Igor and working in the cellar is not an option.)
