I have a Pinnacle Mercury 25 Watt laser. I have always run it from a local computer however that is no longer possible. Would there be a problem using a print server connected to my network?

I've got a GCC Mercury and I've never got it to work with a print spooler (which I believe you need over a network). The only way mine will work is sending the print file directly to the machine from a local computer.

Your drivers may be different, of course. Hope so.

At one time I was looking for a better solution than their USB to serial connection (painfully slow). I asked their support about a USB to parallel cable, they replied that they could never get that set up to work. I think I also asked about a print server and was told that wouldn't work either. Either that I thought the solution was too expensive to experiment with.
In the end I fired up a junker computer that still had a parallel printer port, hooked it up to the wireless network and now print over the network. Much faster and it worked.
