The TRENDnet parallel Print server solved a problem for me. The new Vista machine that we had gotten for my son had no parallel port connector. from Amazon.com Pros: Purchased the print server on Tuesday and received it on Wednesday – excellent. I was using the HP JetDirect card for many years, but it finally died. So, looked at Newegg for a replacement and purchased the Trendnet . I am using Vista Business and found that the software was easy to install. from Newegg.com That allowed me to connect to the printer with a standard printer cable. Seems like that should be mentioned somewhere. Other Thoughts: I tried their tech support to see if they offered such adapter, but they simply said "no", and no advice. The printserver device arrived a week ago, but I just got the gender-changer today. from Newegg.com Pros: My setup:DLS modem to Home Network Router. NEC Superscript 870 connected to router via TRENDnet TE100-P1P1 WinXP connected to router via network cable1 WinVISTA connected to router via network cable2 WinVISTA connected to router wirelessly*Simple to setup (must set IP address different than network router). In my case, I changed it from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10*Did NOT require Install CD to install the printer*All my computers were setup by going to Printer folder and select "Add Printer"*Then select Add Network Printer*Then select Add Printer by TCP/IP address, and punch in the new IP address (192.168.0.10)*Then select Device Type as Network Print Server (1 Port - Parallel)*Then select Printer Type to install Printer Driver*and DONESetup on all 4 computers wired and wireless (XP and Vista) took less than 10 minutes including test prints.(Small note, my NEC Superscript 870 does not have driver for Vista and I had to use a different driver, the HP L Cons: Now that I have my old NEC Superscript 870 working thru this parallel print server, I may not want to upgrade to new printer... from Newegg.com I'm very satisfied with this product. I've used many different printservers, and they've all been problematic. This one's reliable and works great for OSX and Win XP. from Amazon.com The new PC didn't have a serial port so I figured I'd pick up one of these since I was sharing the printer on the network anyways. It does everything it's supposed to. Print speed seems about the same as when it was connected to a parallel port on the computer. Cons: The setup could have been a little more intuitive. from Newegg.com Pros: Paralell interface, modest price Cons: It allows you to set an IP address for it that shouldn't exist, and once you apply the IP, it gets stuck forever. I set up a support ticket years ago with this problem, spoke to a few techs a few times, and here I am, 5 years later (literally) and it's just been sitting in my drawer waiting for a call-back from TRENDnet. from Newegg.com Pros: Many other manufacturers are dropping parallel printer support. Thank you TRENDnet for continuing to support my parallel printer! from Newegg.com UPS arrived at 1:00 PM at 1:15 PM I plotted my first D size drawing from my HP 450 Plotter. This was as easy as it gets for setup and use. from Amazon.com Pros: Allows just about any parallel printer to be hooked up to a lan and, using Windows XP's built-in TCP-IP print settings print from the LAN to my HP Laserjet 4P (ol' trusty). I run a wrt54gl wireless router. from Newegg.com
