You use telnet to the JetDirect box on port 9100 (It has an IP address) to configure it. Once configured, it can act as an lp queue for lpd or cups. Since it does not broadcast its presence, you need to configure cups on one local machine to be its server. Once that is done, you send jobs to that local machine as if it were the printer. The originating and receiving machines for print jobs can be the same. It is on the cups server that you assign the driver for the printer. That is, the filter that changes your print file into a file of printer-specific commands, which we call a driver. The cups server broadcasts the presence of the printer to the rest of your network machines on port 631, so any of them can send jobs to be printed, if authorized. Cups is supplied with the distro and can be installed by software manager if you did not already install it.

[expert] HP jetdirect 170X Printserver
I have looked high and low on how to configure the HP 170X Jetdirect printserver. Anyone have any ideas on how to configure a print qeue using a networked printserver with a hp deskjet 500 connected to it. the ip is 66.47.48.52 for the printserver.
