DLINK has a print server box which include both serial and parallel ports.

The DLINK DP-300, which includes 1 serial port and 2 parallel ports, comes
to mind.

I have several customers who are quite happy with the DLINK.

DLINK may have other models that would satisfy your requirements.

However, as John Burke points out, there may be a problem with the PCL issue.

PrintPath/SE, from RAC Consulting works fine with the DLINK and serial
printers.
