The Intel NetExpress Pro/100 has two parallel ports plugged into HP
LaserJet 4 printers, load balanced print jobs. They don't want to get
rid of the Laserjet 4 printers for a while because they bought tons of
extra toner for that model.
I don't think I have an easy solution to replace a dual parallel port
print server. In theory I wouldn't have to, since this thing is
supposed to be configurable to use SMB protocol. I just can't figure
out how.
