I have a Hawking parallel Print Server on an HP Deskjet and it works great.
It plugs into the ethernet hub and sets up in CUPS as a remote unix printer.
No problems after getting past the "you must use Windows or MacOS to use
this device" problem in the documentation. The Mac documentation gave me the
info I needed to set it up.
