I would suggest getting your inkjet working under Linux. It isn't
that hard. What is the make/model and what flavor of Linux are
you using?

I have a laser and an inkjet both connected to the parallel port  by an
a/b switch. To use the inkjet I flip the switch to b position and use
statements like 
lpr -Pepson foo.ps
