Vinyl Cutter - Connectivity and technical aspects

@Dermot mentioned it was unclear where there vinyl cutter might live. My feeling is that if it could be connected to the network it would make things more flexible ( I have wheeled it around to try to connect to my laptop).

In a previous thread @frasco said

But we could set the m/c to print off the network in the same way as I proposed on the now defunct HP 600.

The cutter can be used with either USB or RS232 input and I can provide an ethernet to RS232 interface box so we could set it up as an internet printer.

If we could connect the RS232 to ethernet that would be good, provided the USB remains usable to connect to the space’s laptop.

Sounds like a good idea. Can we go ahead with this.
