Epic Geek Needed

[CaNsA]

A mate passed me an external JetDirect 175x Eth0>USB network print server.

Clicky

https://h10003.www1.hp.com/digmedialib/prodimg/lowres/c00688575.jpg

It has its own ip addy and has a web gui.
Anyone know of a way i can use/mod this into a file server to be used with a USB drive?

Cheers

I'd be very surprised if you can do it.

The gui is in the firmware so you'd have to re-write that and reflash it (if possible).

I'll pass thanks but I've got a box full of JetDirect 170's if you want to try and make parallel print servers talk to a hard drive

You don't need a geek, you need a wizard.

I suppose you could connect it up to something like an Epson R300 that can handle USB storage but it would be a waste of time and space.

[panrider_uk]

Don't think the JetDirect would see the ports on the Epson. They're very singlemindedly print servers.

Of course it can, it has an RJ45 in one end and a USB port in the other. It just needs a different pixie inside the box.

Well, I did notice the sexual tension at Molly's BBQ, and I applaud your restraint.

So any proof it can be done?

Would be interested if it worked too then...

Thanks
