Right. I have an LJ4ML on an HP JetExpress? standalone print server. It's
one of the last models that _can't_ use their web adminstration (not enough
Flash ROM to load it). I got it for $10 at a tent sale, updated the firmware
then got JetAdmin from HPs website before they took it down (they had an
announcement posted in January that the older JetAdmin stuff was obsolete and
would be phased out during this year) I haven't tried to use it from a Mac
(not sure what driver it would need), but it works great from WinBlows and
UNIX. That just leaves AmigaDOS and VMS to support, at least on my LAN. :-)

I have plenty of equipment to do this, but I'd rather not take up the space
or the electricity. I'd much rather have an internal card since the printer
_has_ a slot.
Unfortunately, the LJIIID can't service multiple I/O ports simultaneously
like the LJ4ML can. I had the 4ML hooked to a PeeCee and a LocalTalk
network and shot jobs from both sides of the house to it. Nice feature.
It'd better be... I bought that 4ML new for $1100 'cause I wanted Postscript.
