Example: Linksys Wireless-G Printserver Mod. WPS54GU2. This
one offers a parallel port, a USB port, RJ45 network connection
and WLAN. This kind of device usually supports attaching a
parallel printer and then provide a print server that can
be addressed via network.

Fully agree. I have obsoleted my HP Laserjet 4 with a 4000 DN
some years ago for very few money - works flawlessly and much
better than USB inkpee electrical sheet feeders. :-)
