I'm installing a HP 4000NT printer to my Powerbook. What is the best connection to use for this......Parallel port or Serial? It does have the JetDirect card in case you know of another option besides wireless. Thanks a lot!!!

Parallel, perhaps - if you can spend the cash for the cable. With parallel you can send more data bits at the same time, whereas serial, it's transmitted through the same wire.
