Cool! I guess our JetDirect cards were so old that they didn't have that.
(One was bought in about 1993, the other about 1997). They required a
special daemon running on Solaris, or a special driver on Win9x or WinNT. I
would have dearly loved to eliminate the need for another NT (or
Sparc-Solaris) machine... These days, my printer speaks Centronics (sic),
so I'm not current wrt JetDirect anymore.
