I want to buy a small mini Print server since my old HP
LaserJet 4 doesn't have ethernet port. I have three 3 pcs
and all pcs share the printer. Yep, I have router and hub,
Linksys WRT54G.

What would you like to recommend?

The following SohoWare brand is discontinued (probably because parallel port printers are getting harder to find with USB and Firewire), but I know I've seen other products like this. About $40-50 per unit.

I'm using SohoWare "Plug-n-Print" gizmos that basically plug into a Centronics parallel port and convert it to Ethernet. The software driver goes on each machine that wants to print, and you can access any printer from anywhere on your network. I have two printers set up like this -- an HP LaserJet and an Epson ink jet.

I love the flexibility...print to anywhere from anywhere on the network.
