Re: parallel port

My Brother DW 8890 all-in-one (great office-grade B&W laser + large 
flatbed scanner + fax, a model from a few years ago; this line has 
continued, although I haven't been as impressed with the successor 
models that I've seen) also includes a parallel port, which may have 
continued with the later ones in that series.  Not many printers still 
offer this, I think.  I like knowing it is there, as an option or just 
in case, even though this device has been operated wirelessly over the 
home network for quite some time.  Even Nota Bene uses it this way.  
I still need to jump through some hoops with the vDOSXy ancillary 
setup, before that might extend to Xy4.  The same situation applies 
for our satellite office, with different printers.

Dear Fellow Xywriters
For what it is worth, I have been buying Dell Pc's.  Till now (about
18 month ago there was a parallel port on the mother board on my most
recent purchase of a dell pc and in addition my Dell salesman found a
parallel port card through the dell store  When I ordered
the card neither the salesman nor I realized Dell was still putting parallel
ports on the mother board. I have several hp lazerjet printers so I am not
likely to give up using a parallel ports anytime soon.
