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)
