I have a cannon laser printer/printserver made by cannon in 1998ish? (I think it's custom made or a prototype or something) I don't use it anymore because newer 100$ printers work much better and have 64 bit driver support =X

ANYWAYS

I installed doom.

so my printer can run doom, that is, until it got shut away in the basement. I mean, who wants a printer that uses a 400w power supply for a computer + the standard 50w or whatever for the printer itself.

I think it's got 2x Pentium 200 mhz processors (pretty sure they arn't pros, but I remember it doing SMP)
It's got touchscreen LCD and runs windows NT4,
512 mb memory I believe
It also has a SCSI Hdd via some adaptec host card
I think ethernet is standard 10 base, though it might have been coaxial when I first got the thing.

Has anyone heard of this? It came from a tech donation when they were getting rid of old equipment.
