We have one of the HP cards, and it works really well.

Just a little about how it works:

It does not directly support TCP/IP LPD protocol.

It takes a single TCP connection on port 9100, stuffs all the
characters into the printer, and ends on TCP/IP close.

The spooler machine runs software to support LPD, and
take care of normal spool functions.  They supply
it for HP, and sun.

It is real easy to write the driver for, though.

You can also do

telnet printer.name 9100

what you type goes to the printer!
