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.
