one thing comes to mind:
think about useing a print server, its a small device that connects to the printer and then a network switch which you dos system will communate with it that way. you will need to find a dos driver for the printer and confiqure the tcp/ip protocol in dos to direct lp1 to that ip address of the print server. you will also need the dos drivers for the nic to work right. you would be better off picking up a old printer that is paralell.
