Another thing that you can do is assign the necessary ip-address and
subnet, etc... via the HP's control panel. I know it's not as savy as
bootp, but until you get bootp up and running, it'll allow you to print.
Also, remember that you need to set up to printcap entries, one for raw
and one for text (for formatted PS/PCL jobs and plain-text
respectively). All this should be covered in the JetDirect manual.
