related perhaps, btu I'm using a Keyspan 4 port USB-Serial adapter, which just
works as advertised.
on google i found http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2709
which claims there is a usblp driver, which indeed gives me lots of matches
in the /lib/modules tree's i've got:
locate usblp
another option, perhaps much more useful in my mind, it get one of those cheap
printer servers, ethernet on one end, 1 or 2 parallel ports on the other side.
automatically puts your ancient printers available as network printers on your
local network. it's what i'm using.

Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Seems there are
adapters, but how well do they work? Do they tend to be Windows-only?
It's for a laptop so maybe I can find a PCMCIA parallel port card.
