Mr Kevin, You neither answered my question, nor do you have any idea what the word polite means, as you have so clearly demonstrated in all your replies.
I think you should get out of the loop since you obviously are incompetent to answer the question.
You do not own this distribution list, nor are you a representative thereof, nor are you the FreeBSD developer community's elected spokesperson.
As you are ill-equipped to answer answer technical questions sent to an email address created for just such a purpose, the least you could do is shut up, and let technically knowledgeable individuals reply.

I answered your question politely the first time, and you wanted to argue about it. I don't. Toddle along, now.

I have sen a few print servers. Some can handle multiple printers of different brands and models. SOme print server I have seen connect to printers via a set of parallel ports, others via USB ports, and others via a combination. Would you say that the print server has built-in protocols for every printer on the market? Or does it merely act as a store-and forward device, sort of like a buffer?
Cheers,
Joe

I would like to use a usb-2-ethernet converter (Aopen has one - found it at a web site for $12).
What I want to use it for is to convert a usb device like a printer to an ethernet connected printer.
It's not going to work. You need a print server of some kind (lpr, Novell, AppleTalk) to handle connectivity protocol and spooling. That functionality is provided via Ethernet print servers or cards - just converting the raw signaling isn't enough.
