iDock: Linux Printing and Parallel Printers

On my iMac when I want to print something I use a Hewlett-Packard 
printer (Laserjet 5L) together with an 'iDock'.  This device takes a 
usb port on my iMac and prvides a usb hub plus other ports including 
a parallel port for my printer.  It comes with a special version of 
'powerprint' software.  I am well pleased with it ... and wonder if 
anyone on this list has managed to get one of these devices working 
under YDL?

I use YDL version 2.0 (default kernel 2.2.19pre1).  There is plenty 
of memory and the last major configuyration project will be to get 
this device printing under linux.

TIA for any help.

Richard
