My HP 4M with a 10/100 jetdirect card is working fine after running this HP
wizard jetdirect installer software, but I'll be damned if I know whats
going on.

I checked a couple download sites and sure enough two dozen different
shareware and commercial products will do LPR on windows 98, but the two
practical solutions seem to remain; A SAMBA server, or just plugging the PC
in with a parallel cable. How barbaric.
