I'm running a DeskJet 540 from an Apple Parallel Card, but any parallel 
card which is supported by one of the GS/OS parallel drivers will 
probably do. The Grappler+ is probably the easiest to get, but I stand to 
be corrected on this.

Once you've installed the parallel card in a slot (usually slot 1) you'll 
need to change the Control Panel setting for Slot 1 to "Your Card". 

I have actually installed my Apple Parallel card in slot 2, keeping my 
ImageWriter II connected to the Printer Port. With Slot 2 set to "Your 
Card", and with a modem connected to the Modem Port, I can run ProTERM and
actually capture email to the DeskJet while online!
