ImageWriter II is well-supported on Windows at least until Windows XP. You can get a Bitronics-RS422 bridge to use it on an LPT port if you really want to. "Standard" Windows printer drivers assume that the same high-level byte-oriented protocol can be used to communicate with a printer whether it's on a parallel port (Bitronics or ECP), serial, or a TCP socket connection. You can thank HP for pioneering the nybble-oriented Bitronics back-channel, and their dumb print server modules that just exposed that to a TCP socket.
