We used to use Intel Netport Express to get our parallel printers to talk to
the HP3000 via TCP/IP.  The box had two parallel ports and on serial port.
We had no problems with it.  If you're using a printer with a JetDirect card
(which I believe is already TCP/IP) do you even need the Netport Express
box?  I would think you'd be able to connect your printer directly to your
network.  I may be missing something..... :-)
