Thanks, Steph.  Before I give this a try, do you know if the port works
on a networked printer that uses JetDirect, and with the print queue
managed by another computer?  The port description mentions that there
is reduced functionality for this case, and before I thunder forth I
thought it worthwhile to ask.
