Does anyone know how to get this working? Much googling has produced a
reference to a utility called psadmin that's needed to set the initial ip
address for a jetlan card. Vista can't see the printer while snooping the
network. Any ideas?

What OS are you using? On my HP 4 Si there is software called jetadmin
(different versions for 9x and 2k). Basically you use the printer control
panel to setup the card, and the software allows you to change any setting
you like from another PC.
Software seems hard to find these days for older systems.

I was expecting the jetlan card to add some menu options to the printer, but
it looks like that didn't happen. I think you need the software. The
printer predates (the wide-spread use of) the internet. In the past, I've
found that old but uncommon information like that just didn't make it out
there.
It's not a big deal. I can always use a parallel cable.

As far as I know it HAS to add some options to the menu of your printer, so
you woundn't have a way to set the IP address et al. There is something
wrong with your printer, interface or installation.
In windows XP you just add a TCP port. In older OS...who knows?

Well, in the old days some of these printers could use arp + ping to set the
ip address. If yoy didn't have the software, that was often the only way.
Here is an example:

I haven't had time to look at it more. But I didn't see anything different
on the menus. The network card is getting power though because there's
lights on it, and the lights blink correctly for a network interface. I'll
dig more this weekend.
