   Hmm. I just unsoldered that idiot socket, whacked the connector off
the Sprint adapter, and soldered the ends to the PCB. Took about 8
minutes. Mostly because I forgot to run the wire through the hole in
the case the first time.

   If you aren't in a hurry, though, HP has the adapters for most of the
JetDirects available online, and the prices don't suck. The EX+
adapter would have cost $7.95 and postage. Sorry, though, I didn't
bookmark the page.
