Have you thought about a print server, Jessica? I know that one is more expensive than the printer you linked to -- but it was just the first one I googled.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could assign the burner a drive letter on computer A and see if Roxio recognizes it.
Nah, it only sees the internal CD drive, not the networked DVD burner (even with the DVD burner assigned a drive letter).
My boss did it that way because the computer with the DVD burner is an NT 4 machine and the Roxio software only works with 2000 or XP. So I'm just gonna switch the burner over to the 2000 machine that has Roxio installed on it.

OK, I'm all ready to burn a DVD, except there's not enough hard drive space (on the computer with the burner) for it to store the files temporarily while it does the burning. (The files it's gonna burn are all on other computers.) (In fact, both hard drives on that computer are smaller than the DVD I'm gonna make.)
Do ya think it'll work if I specify a network drive as a place to store the temporary files? or am I just begging for a buffer underrun?
DVD burner is 4x, 100 megabit network.
eta: am now spelunking through old computers, looking for a 5+ Gig hard drive.

how can I find out if it needs a USB A / USB A cable or a USB A/USB B cable, so I can order them together?
I was very irritated when the printer I bought did not come with its own requisite USB cable, and I had to immediately turn around and go back to Best Buy for the damned cable.
I don't recall if it even specified on the outside of the box that I needed a cable. I think I only found out when I opened the box and read the instructions that said "plug in the printer, with USB cable sold seperately."
Fuckers.

Our wings are not tired
Very few USB printers ship with a cable any more.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In my day, parallel port printers never came with cables. We had to make our own out of old phone cords. You you kids today want everything so easy.

When we sold parallel port printers, we never sold them with cables either. I've just assumed printers still came cable-free.
