At home we have a LaserJet 1010, which has only USB, but the 1015 is the 
same printer with USB+parallel. But this is a black & white laser 
printer, probably not what you are looking for.

I use a FreeBSD box as a printer server and CUPS for the printing 
system, and it works really well together with my Ultra 60.
