I have to agree, We've got over a hundred JetDirect equiped HP Laserjets which ALL have IP addresses and are used all the time with lpr/lpd. In fact our VMS access to these printers is via lpr/lpd (TGV Multinet). We even (with a FreeBSD box in-between, 'cuz of IBM's decision to send the data file BEFORE sending the control file) use them to print from a series of IBM mainframes scattered all over the world! We also use Castille Lanpress boxes for printers which won't/don't accept a JetDirect (Genecom,etc line-printers). ---- Stephen F.
