Sure, we run network cables anyway for computers, so it's just like 
that.  This way, you're far less limited in where you can physically put 
a printer.  That is, you're not limited by the length of a USB or LPT cable.

Perhaps you're thinking that you'd have to run *both* a Cat 5 cable and 
an LPT cable?  If so, then the answer is no, you don't.  You can think 
of this as a much more brainy sort of "media converter" that turns a 
printer's traditional Centronics parallel interface into a Cat 5 network 
jack that speaks TCP/IP.
