I'd like to move a printer to a closet and get it out of the way.


Don't you have the SMC Barricade router like I do? It should have a LPT
port built in.


Yep. But it's croaking... reboot required more than once per day.

Just ordered a new LinkSys BEFSR81.

Might be useful if you can live with a somewhat generic
driver and your printer isn't too exotic.

I'll have to do the same thing for a little HP-5L here because the new
puter don't have no LPT port no more :-(

The big one is a Brother 7820N which dwelleth on a LAN port, Very practical.
