Ethernet connectivity would be cool, but once >again, I've made it this far without it. I can't help you with the color printing (I have no use for it myself and I wouldn't trade my HP 4M+ Postscript & duplexer for any other printer) but I can tell you that there are some very cheap hardware print servers out there. Ethernet connectivity is not the unreachable thing it once was. For example you can by a brand new Hawking PN7117 for $124 that is just a bit bigger than a Centronix head and plugs into the printer parallel port and supports LPR and is web manageable. In my case for my own printer I picked up a HP JetDirect from Ebay for $50 that supports LPR and it works great.
