Possibly cheaper, less power to run, fewer moving parts to fail, no OS
to keep updated ... the list is long.

I bought a printserver for my laserjet that plugs directly into the
parallel port of the printer (no parallel cables needed), powered by a
wall wart, speaks lpd (etc), configuration via telnet, for about $7
via ebay.
