Microplex at 604-875-1461 has a small box that attaches directly to the
ethernet and will drive a printer. Basically a box with two connectors,
parallel and bnc (they may have serial and transceiver versions as well). 

Something well under $1000 CDN i believe. 

Havn't tried it, was just talking to someone over there when I picked up
some modems and he mentioned that it was a new product they where working
on.
