OT: laser printer for sale

8 Jun 2004

...
    I have it connected to my PC with a standard printer
cable. 
 Well, that won't work for me since I don't use pee seas.=20 
There are "print servers". Litle boxes with a Centronics parallel port 
At one time the better PC shops sold serial -> parallel (and the reverse) 
converters. Little boxes containing a microcontroller and not much else 
which let you hang a parallel printer off a serial port, or vice versa.

I guess they're no longer easily available (they were useful, and it's a 
well known fact that, at least in the UK, PC shops don't sell useful 
stuff). But it's not exavtly difficult to design one! And there must have 
been magazine projects for these over the years (I think I remember one 
in 80-micro...)
