Those are print servers, internal ones.

The specs for the Canon LBP-1760 indicate it's the Canon version of the
LaserJet 4050, and it has a parallel port.

That's an external JetDirect which should work, but the auction says it
comes without a power supply. And the picture doesn't match the
description, one parallel port versus three.

Setting up external JetDirects can be a pain, also.

Still, given the only price I've found for the EB-52 is $478, it's
probably the cheapest if the OP is willing to do the necessary work.

Otherwise, a used LaserJet LJ4050N can probably be had for less than the
cost of the EB-52 alone, and should take the same toner cartridges as
the Canon.

I just showed that item as an example.
Plenty of how to's on the web.
There are plenty of external parallel print servers available,
remember Google is your friend.

I've got a spare Emulex "NetQue" print server box which has both a
parallel port and a serial port. It ran two printers (Brother HL-1050 and
an Epson LX400 dot matrix) simultaneously from a Novell NetWare server
many moons ago.

I'm fairly sure there's a CD with a web interface program on it somewhere,
but I can't find it, in any case it's configurable by Telnet. Only runs at
10mbit/sec on the network, but that ought to be fast enough for a
printer..!

The power supply runs pretty hot though, make sure it's got plenty of
ventilation..! If anyone's interested, make me an offer in beer ;-)

Thank you a lot for info

My goal are :
- I hope using ethernet instead parallel will be faster , so I prefer sing
Ethernet board for the printer instead ethernet to parralel adaptator
- I've several option in LBP1760 (postscript, duplex...) so I want no change
the printer

My idea is : there is pehaps somes EB52 used (or Emulex), which are on some
LBP1760 or LBP2460 which are dead, at cheap price.

Of course, if there is only EB52 at new price, we will continue use parallel
port
