I there any simple way to adapt a parallel port printer to a network?

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

Jim, what server are you using, if any?



Everything is plugged into an 8-port router (SMC Barricade) right now.

did you look on the back and see if it has a P-port?
mine does.
of course, I only have a 8 port with a WAN port, but I also have a 9
pin serial port for an external dial up modem I was using that before
I got high speed at the house.
Got kind of slow how ever, when the kids wanted to down load MP3's
and all.
