Only one comes to mind. From the Kernel Config help file --
PLIP (parallel port) support
CONFIG_PLIP
PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a CDROM
drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies first).
The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option enabled
for this to work.
I use parport and friends. Using PLIP to talk to the printer is a new one for
me.
I guess YMMV.
