On the back of that, has anyone here got one of these set up with Linux?
I'm not sure if doing so with it on the network via jetdirect makes the
process significantly different vs. attaching it direct to a machine via
parallel or RS232 (I last set up a printer via Linux in 1995 or so, I
think, and there seems to be quite the range of big bits of software arou
Over the net the printer looks and behaves lika a SunOS 5 machine with
one connected printer so CUPS can treat it as another lp-daemon but CUPS
also has a special alternative for JetDirect devices.
It is easy.
