An infrared transceiver module, the JetEye ESI-9580A connects to your printer's parallel port to let you send documents to your printer from your infrared port-equipped portable computer. After you install the driver in the printer, you aim the laptop at the JetEye module to print, at 115 Kbps, any document you've created in DOS or Windows. A pass-through in the device's parallel port lets you maintain a printer connection with another PC or network print server. The JetEye costs $179.
