Your cart is empty.The Ethernet to Parallel Network Print Server converts a standard parallel printer into a network printer over a 10/100Mbps network. It enables printing among multiple network-connected computers, maximizing printer functionality with support for 10 and 100Mbps speeds. Place the printer at a suitable shared location for access by multiple users. This compact print server connects directly to the printer's Centronics port. Configure and add the printer to the network using the web interface from any operating system or the Windows-based installation wizard. The print server also supports IPX, TCP/IP (LPR, IPP, RAW 9100), NetBEUI, AppleTalk, SNMP v1 and 2, SMB.

The ethernet to parallel print server completely restored my wide-carriage MX-100 from ballast to a printer useful for software debug. It worked the first time and the Window 10 driver was already installed although the driver was labeled as an IBM wide-carriage printer. The dot matrix graphics were also supported by the printer server and the Microsoft driver.

This adapter was able to turn our Zebra ZP450 UPS Label printers into network printers and we couldn't be happier with the results. Since Zebra does not even have a factory option for a network card on the 450, we are limited to USB, Parallel, or Serial. When you have an entire warehouse full of computers all trying to ship material, the absence of the 450's networking really start to show. Of course, you can connect the printer to one computer over USB and then share it out over Windows, but what happens when that computer is offline? What about when it gets shutdown accidentally? Or even when it's time to replace it? This adapter eliminates all of those concerns.The first step is just to power on the adapter (not connected to the printer) and connect an ethernet cable from it to your computer. On Windows, go to control panel and change your ethernet adapter's IPv4 address to 192.168.0.15 and subnet 255.255.255.0. Navigate to 192.168.0.10 in your web browser and the adapter/print server should show up right away. From within here, you can change the IP Address, DNS name, and other settings. I would recommend changing everything else besides the IP, and then doing that last. Once you have it all set, connect the adapter to your printer, power it back on, and try to connect to it over the network. If you're successful, the only step left is to install the printer like any network printer except for the changing the protocol to LPR. StarTech has some fantastic documentation on all of this, so make sure that check that out too.
