	Not at all.  There's actually quite a few, and parallel was the way 
this was done for quite some time.  HP with their Jetdirect, Jetdirect 
EX and other variants are quite common, even now.  Almost all the newer 
ones out there are USB, because that's where the printers have largely 
gone that need such boxes, but you can still get the parallel new.

	JetDirect boxes can be had fairly cheaply off eBay, and speak LPD/LPR, 
"HP printing" (that port 9100 stuff they do) and AppleTalk.
