Yes. Any monochrome laser - you need a printer server box that plugs 
into the network and attaches to your printer. Then a copy of Internet 
Printer Setup from RComp. (there is alternative free software 
available but I thought RComps was easier to set up). I have my Iyonix 
and my PC laptop networked and they easily share both printers plugged 
into the printer-server box. Either computer can print to my 
mono-laser or my colour ink jet printer scanner copier.
