Product: HP LaserJet III
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an old HP LaserJet III printer with just a Parallel Port.  Can I connect it to an Ethernet Network either wired or via wireless?  I am thinking there is a Network adapter for this printer.  Can anyone suggest anything?

Those are typically called Print Servers.

 

Simply do a Google search using:

printer parallel port to ethernet print server

 

This will return multiple options to choose from.
