Or IP address and queue name? Apsfilter asks for a "full qualified hostname or IP address" and "the remote printer name". The remote printer name will most likely be "raw" according to Apsfilter (same as the queue name I guess). > JetDirects used to have a default address of 192.0.0.192, I think, > although that may not be the case any more.

The problem now is that I can't telnet to the JetDirect because I don't have the IP adress. > Some of the cheaper units may not have a default IP address assigned. > You might have to run HP's JetAdmin software to configure these units > initially.
