I third the suggestion to use a Print Server. I also purchased a few external Print Servers (to test various brands) for both parallel and USB interfaced printers. They have proven to be an excellent investment. Many higher end printers, and some SOHO printers, no include an Ethernet port with an internal Print Server. It takes the mystery out of whether an external, third party Print Server will work or not, as there are some cases where even newer printers (and especially multi-functions machines) will not work with an external Print Server - despite claims to the contrary.
