This is a print server and firewall. The print server section from the manual says:
Using the Printer Server (Optional)To use the Model FR114P’s Print Server, your computer must have a network printing driver
installed, and you must add the printer to the computer’s list of known printers. The procedure
depends on your PC’s operating system.Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XPFor Windows network printing, you can either use Windows Peer to Peer (PTP) or Line Printer
Remote (LPR) protocol. You can install driver software from the FR114P Resource CD. Please
refer to the Reference Manual on the FR114P Resource CD.Macintosh OS8, OS9, OSXMacintosh computers can connect to a network printer using the Line Printer Remote (LPR)
protocol. LPR printing can be set up on any Macintosh that has Desktop Printing installed or
available. Desktop Printing is supported on MacOS versions beginning from 8.1. LaserWriter8
version 8.5.1 or higher is also required. Refer to your MacOS documentation and to the
Reference Manual on the FR114P Resource CD.Linux and othersLinux, FreeBSD, and other similar operating systems can use the Line Printer Remote (LPR)
protocol to connect to the network print server. Please refer to the Reference Manual on the
FR114P Resource CD------
The printer port is parallel. So this will work with older laser printers from the early 2000s and late 1990s. I don't know if it would work with dot matrix printers, but the two supported protocols are simple print servers that have exited for decades.
