New I use an Ethernet to Parallel converter.
My two dot matrix printers are too old to have an ethernet port. They will be in use for many years yet, as they are very lightly used.

New These hail from the heyday of Banyan VINES. :-)
The bank I worked for had a modest (~30 servers) Banyan VINES network and most of the printers were connected to servers. But server-connected printers were not ideal as some sorts of maintenance required rebooting the server. Banyan later introduced a thing called "PC Print" so you could use a random networked PC as a printer server. This was much better and these serial-to-parallel converters started being disused. :-)
