Yes, please do post the correct way to buffer the parallel port line.
A long time ago, I had to buy a new motherboard because the repair
center was too stupid to figure out how to fix it.  (I guess they just
had to replace the sound chip?)  This was NOT with a Deskjet or
Deskjet+, but it was a parallel port problem.

I'm sure there are many of us who would be extremely interested in
safeguarding our computers.  (Of course I could just buy a printer
buffer, but then I'm cheap.)

Also, could someone RE-explain what the exact problem is when they
offer the fix?  And why does a printer buffer help anyway?
