This is a plug-in print server for the following vintage printers:
- HP cp1160
- HP cp1700
- HP Officejet D125xi, D135, D145, D155xi, 7130 7130xi 7140xi
- HP LaserJet 1300
It is untested because I don't have one of those printers. I expect that it works and guarantee it.
This will network-enable the printer (you can plug a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable into it). It is much faster than a parallel or USB printer connection and lets you locate the printer somewhere that is not next to a computer if you like.
There are user and administrator guides available for this if you do a search. I don't know if you need software to use it -- usually such things just plug in and work, but one listing for one of these says "needs reset" so I just don't know. I'm sure the manual explains how.
