Toshiba e-166 Network capable??

[Guest]

I'm about to sell one on these , the customer is very interested BUT now he questions if he will be able to connect it to his network...Now since I haven't sold on of these (only Tosh e 35s/45s+Other big boxes) I can't locate the word NETWORK on the brochure or sales info (only workgroup and GDI printer) am not sure at this point if IT IS network capable...or not??
Sorry, maybe a sales question..

Thanks for your kind response

toshiba es 166

you need to buy optional network kit.
base module is only gdi printer.

It's not so simple. In "166" and "163" you can't buy any optional kits.
This models are upgradeless. Only "165" and "167" has optional NETWORK kit.

you cant buy optional kit you must try to use print server

[Sbarro]

Printserver and toshiba GDI drivers are huge problem.
I try this many times with many different printservers(inc. new GDI printservers) without success. If any of you know which printserver works with
Toshiba GDI/USB (163/165/167) please let me know.

es 166

first Sbarro was right, for 163 (203) and 166 (206) you can not buy any option, it is only for 165(205) - 167(207)(237) series.

second, toshiba es 163 - 237 can not use any print server.
if you want to connect toshiba es 165(205) - 167(207-237) on networj is to buy optional network controller.
also es 165 mostly come with firmware version 040 and controller with ver 050, so first you have to upgrade machine firmware to ver 050.

It is not right. Toshiba es163-237 gdi works with SEH print server. SEH Homepage
model is PS03a as I remmember. U need latest firmware for print server! Didn't see with my own eyes but TOSHIBA claims that it works.
