http://serverfault.com – I have the following situation I have an Ethernet only HP Printer which I need to connect to a parallel port PC. Could I use an External JetDirect card to connect my Ethernet printer to a Parallel port PC? --UPDATE-- There is an Ethernet port on the PC but it's being used to connect to the Domain. So I can't unplug the PC's ethernet. The room which has the PC has only 1 Ethernet port so we can't connect 2 devices to the network simulataneously. The Printer has an Ethernet port only so I can't connect it via Parallel port cable. But if I can bridge the Ethernet port to Parallel port that (HowTos)

Have an HP Laserjet3100 multifunction printer with ONLY parallel port connector. Found driver and installed HP-LIP-3.12.9 without error. Requires reboot then finish with hp-setup command in terminal. Setup starts OK but the option to use parallel port is greyed out; only have choice of USB, network, or WiFi to install printer. How do I get parallel port as option to install? Ubuntu 12.04LTS

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 using the text based installer. However I am now unable to use the Ethernet port to connect to the internet, despite the port working three days ago when the computer was running xp. I know that my Ethernet cable works, as my laptop can connect with it.

Today I plugged an ethernet cord into the router and printer. The printer is found under: applications > administration > printing > HP-Laserjet-4M Clicking this icon brings up Printer Properties, but the printer is not yet connecting with the printer.

I could use some suggestions on changing the Device URI from parallel to ethernet. So far I have tried: socket://---ip#---:9100 ...

Hello everyone. I have a VPN I use for various things. I connect to it using NetworkManager, so when I want to use it I currently have to use it for all my internet activities. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to have 2 ethernet devices, like eth0 and eth1, so that I can connect one to the VPN and the other can stay as is.

I have a computer that is connected to the internet via wifi. I then have a ethernet cable coming out from my wifi computer into another computer which has no wifi or place to plug into ethernet.

I have shared the wifi connection to the LAN port, and the computer successfully gets internet. But, on that computer I have a FTP server that I want the wifi network to be able to connect to.

I have a Laserjet 4L printer and can easily install it assigned to LPT #1.

However, it is not connected to LPT #1 but via a USB port, as follows:

Motherboard USB Port -> KVM Switch* -> USB to Parallel Cable -> Printer

I think the KVM Switch is irrelevant but I have noted it here for completeness.
