I have several computers that need to share an HP laserjet. The computers are running Windows NT, RedHat Linux 6.0, FreeBSD3.4, and OpenBSD 2.5. I have been looking at the options available and reading the FreeBSD mail archives and I have not realy found an answer. My main question is can I use a Bitronics Autoswitch like the Belkin F1U124 to switch between these systems and the printer. This particular switch supports the HP printers and Windows operating systems. but can Linux, and the BSD's work with it?
