Printing from serial to LAN

by glen . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hello,
We have a client who runs a day surgery, one of the pieces of equipment in the operating theatre is required to print to a network printer, the equipment in question only has serial output and runs a proprietry OS and can only output “raw” data via the serial port, network printers are largely HP, with built in RJ45, SBS2003 for the server, any suggestions on how to make this “beast” print would be appreciated, initial thoughts were to attach an old PC to the serial port and have it pass the data straight to the printer, not unlike the old Novell print servers…
Thanks!
