Trendware TEW-P1PG

$93.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my issue was the communications set up of the parallel port on the label printer itself.
from www.newegg.com
pros: worked with an old parallel port printer (a canon bjc-4550, circa 1995)cons: be sure to check trendnet website for faq and installation instructions.

pros: easy setup, fairly fast printing, direct-clip-on mounting to the parallel port of the printer (looks nice without cords), web or software install (i recomment the web) cons: if you set a

from erikras, www.newegg.com
print speed seems about the same as when it was connected to a parallel port on the computer.
from WepaBear, www.newegg.com
but because there isn't enough information about the ease of setup and if it will work with my legacy parallel port printer, i was hesitant.but i am very happy with this purchase.
from Ian, www.newegg.com
helped "save" an old parallel port printer from the graveyard.
from Oisin, www.newegg.com
configured it with parallel port (which may be the issue) in xp and vista workstations -- my hp 1320 printer wouldn't recognize (in vista) and wouldn't stay recognized in xp or win2003.
from Stiletto, www.newegg.com
pros: -functions as an abstraction layer, no special software needed.-compact cons: -finicky setup-designed to attach directly to a printer's parallel port; would be more convenient if it had

NetGear PS101 PS101NA

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from A Customer from Fairfield, IA, clickfrom.buy.com
it took me a little while to figure out the setup and understand that it creates a kind of virtual parallel port.
from hybridspecies, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: works perfectly and fits directly onto the parallel port or a printer.
from www.amazon.com
i like how tiny this unit is, it takes up no useable space in my somewhat small office, since it attaches directly to the parallel port on the back of the printer.
from www.amazon.com
this is the only network parallel port print server solution i could find.
from www.amazon.com
not to mention that parallel port devices are becoming hard to find and yet there are still many printers out there still use only parallel, even those that can use a usb, i prefer the parallel ports.

Linksys Wireless-G WPS54GU2

$159.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
i have a epson 740 installed via usb and a epson 700 via parallel port and both work great.
from www.amazon.com
am using the server wired to my network (no wireless) with an hp laserjet on parallel port, printing from 2 xp prof computers on the network.
from www.amazon.com
i've got this unit to finally print from both a winxp and mac os x machine, to a parallel port hp-6l and a usb port canon i850.
from www.newegg.com
the advantage of the wps54gu2 over the wps54g is that the former has a parallel port, while the latter does not.wps54gu2 performs well, although it was kind of a pain to set up.
from www.amazon.com
it is nice also to have a parallel port too.
