Yes,
I am currently looking at three products:
Microplex M200/M201 default config 2 serial and 1 parallel
Axis AX-5 default config 1 serial 1 parallel
Lantronix EPS1 default config 1 serial and 1 parallel

Axis:
I currently have an evaluation unit from Axis. it does true LPD and
Novell print services. It does what it advertises.
508-777-7957 or info@axisinc.com

microplex:
They are next on the list for evaluation. It currently supports
LPD and Novell support has been announced.
604-875-1461, 800-665-7798 or sales@microplex.com

Lantronix:
"Support for Novell, TCP/IP, Ethertalk (Appletalk), LAT"
They are last on the list.
