Thanks for the reply, Matthew, now a couple more questions ;)

I thought Ariadne was supposed to have 2 parallel ports? How is the second one
implemented? I had assumed that it was available directly on a second blanking
plate but Paul LeSurf of Blittersoft (UK) cryptically said it was available on
the card. Does this mean I have to buy a ribbon cable and port/blanking plate
myself?

Would I be able to print Final Writer/Propage files out of the one of the
Ariadne parallel ports? How would I implement a logical command like: 

copy test.ps par: (which sends a postscript file directly to the native
parallel port for my laserjet)

And finally, are you glad you bought the Ariadne?

Thanks.
