Click on the 5476
This *may* do what you want.  It will do 4214, 5224, 5256, 5219, 
3812 Printer Emulation and maybe one of these is PCI.

We are using one of these to connect an Epson DFX500+ using
twinax.

Now, we are using IO Corporation's 5450's to connect parallel
printers to the network and connecting as AS/400 printers (the IO
5450's will create the DEV and Controller on the AS/400 when you 
set it up as long as you have autoconfigure devices turned on).

Maybe one of these products will do what you want, we don't use
hosttransform here, I don't think, so am not sure.

Subject: Twinax printer & TRANSFORM(*YES)

I have an HP LaserJet 4L (uses PCL) that I'd like to attach to the AS/400
via a Twinax line.  The printer does not accept JetDirect cards, and
only has a parallel port.

I'd like to be able to use Host Print Transform to convert things like
fonts, barcodes, overlays, etc to the PCL language, and send it to the
printer. 

I do NOT want to have to use a PC to act as an interface for the printer.

I know there are many different twinax to parallel adapters out there.
But will any of them allow me to do Host Print Transform? 

Has anyone had good experiences with a product that will meet my
requirements?

Thanks!
