The 1-Port 10/100 Mbps Parallel Print Server from TRENDnet allows you to share your parallel printer among the computers in your network without the need to use a computer as a print server. You simply plug the printer into the bi-directional parallel port on the server and plug the server into your network via a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection.

Comments about Trendnet 1-Port 10/100 Mbps Parallel Print Server:
Needed to replace the 10-year old print server on my home office network with four computers, so I can print to a relatively old HP LaserJet with a parallel port -- the sort of thing you should be able to successfully set up three different ways, and sure enough I was. The unit comes with a proprietary Windows-based application but the more generic browser mode actually works better.
The device is small and unobtrusive -- it's designed to plug into the printer's parallel port (unlike the last server I used, which had a cable) -- this will be probably be convenient for most, but since my office is a little cramped and there isn't much room to move things around, I had to stretch the power cord tight to make things work.
Once I set it up, I used the browser to set the IP address -- same as the old server -- and was in business, didn't have to change anything in Windows or Linux.

Not the first time using a parallel printer server, but first time using a TRENDnet brand. Best price online, [...] easy installation, took me 5 minutes to go over manual and 5 minutes to install. It has been up and running for one week now with out any issues.
