We have a print server device that connects parrallel cable to CAT5. http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?product_id=PS1100A This device works fine (although sometimes tempermental) with LPR driver on NT4 system pointed at LPT1:192.168.1.8 - it doesn't work (yet) with Linux. I'm not sure what info might be needed to resolve this, but here goes. I installed RedHat7.2, then used 'printconf-gui' to add a printer: Name: Konica QueueType: UnixPrinter - LPD Server: 192.168.1.8 Queue: lpt1 driver: ljet3
