Quoting Tony Godshall (tony at of.net):

No, you weren't.  Sorry about that.  1.  Busy day, and I didn't 
give your post as attentive a read as I should.  E.g., I didn't 
fully parse that bit about recent HP printers having ability to 
configure via HTTP.  Which is cool.  Anyway:  2. I was just really 
trying to stress, for _other_ people's benefit, that setting up a 
JetDirect-equipped printer for network functionality is simple.

Why?  Because, as I believe we all saw upthread, there seems to be a
persistent misconception that you should hang such printers off a
parallel or USB port, because configuring them as network printers must
be impossibly complex -- or something like that.  (Darlene apparently
had been advised to hang her network-capable off her machine and ignore
the JetDirect interface for the really rather bad reason of her not
having a DHCP server.)

So, I just wanted to stress that it's not actually difficult, and well
worth trying.
