JetDirect EX print server

I can see it in the Chooser, but also, I have an HP LaserJet utility for the Mac, and it gives you 4 types of printer/devices you can look for. Postscript printers, JetDirect EX devices, DeskJet printers, and AppleShare hosted printers. The printer connected to it shows up when I look for Postscript printers, and I can configure the printer. But the JDEX doesn't show up when I look in the JetDirect EX device list, so I can't cofigure it directly. But since I can send a print job and configure the printer connected TO it, then it looks like the JDEX is at least doing its job. All this may wind up being abondonded and I may toss these things... if I understand the info I just found out, I can't upgrade the firmware on them anyway because they need a flash simm card to do that, and they don't have it and HP no longer sells them. If this is a problem with interaction with my DHCP server (which is what it is looking like) then if I can't upgrade the firmware and fix the bug, then these become pretty useless to me. And when you figure for $60 I can buy a brand new NetGear print server, it doesn't become worth much more effort (and certainly not worth much more cost) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
