Let's be careful, I think sixto's printer is a LaserJet 4P and not a 4Plus.
I don't believe the 4P has the Jet Direct card slot.
An external Parallel to Ethernet converter box will work, but is "cluttersome" with the box, 2 cables and a power transformer. The external devices are also tricky to configure. Thus I would recommend adding a parallel interface card to the PC, or trying the USB/Parallal cable. (I've never used the USB/Parallel cable.)
If it IS a LaserJet "4 Plus" I would first recommend the J2556 10/100 card.
For a less expensive 10meg card I would recommend the J2550-60003.
The J2552-60003 should work, but has an Appletalk plug and a BNC Ethernet conector in addition to the Ethernet Twisted Pair RJ45 jack.
Stay away from the J2555 cards. They are TOKEN RING and NOT Ethernet. Some sellers on eBay are calling them Ethernet because they have the RJ45 connectors. There is nothing "Ethernet" about a J2555 card!
