Thank you all,

I have gotten many many answers back, all helpful. The count is at 20 and
rising you can stop answering now.

Most popular answer was a HP Laserjet 4m+ with an optional network card
(JetDirect)

Following closely were any number of HP Laserjets with the optional network
card.

DEC also has several printer or printservers available (printserver 17 &
printserver 20, DEClaser 3500 ...)

Bill Schmidt seems to have the inexpensive answer with an EMULEX printbox
for 500 US$.

One answer which may even be less expensive though I am not sure I
understand it completele comes from eisenman@beta.tricity.wsu.edu
All thats needed is an ethernet card for the printer and a sever capable of
being the bootdevice for same. (I'm not sure whether this refers to a
printserver or our Ultrix box)

Danke auch an die deutschsprachige Antworte.

Cheers Tom
