Inquiry to Hewlett Packard:

How can I find laser printers that have a parallel port and work
with DOS/Win 98?

The Brother MFC7820N Printer/Scanner/Fax/Copier/PC Fax has parallel,
USB, and Network ports and has drivers for Windows 98 original and up.
I just bought one and have it directly connected to the home network.

Two shortcomings:
1. It does not have "smart ring answer" for incoming faxes, which I
used with my old Panasonic thermal fax.
2. It does not have drivers for Windows Server verrsions. I have a
machine running the just-release Windows Home Server and I can't use
the printer with that PC.

Other than that I am a happy camper and the photocopier, thermal fax,
flatbed scanner and old laser printer have all vacated my desk.
