In confirm you can: however, the number of actives interfaces provided by the JetDirect it depends on the printer in which you put it. For instance, on a LaserJet Si/MX and more recent printers, you can use all protocols (NetBIOS, IP, IPX, AppleTalk) and all interfaces (Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, JetDirect) simultaneously, whereas on LaserJet 4 and lower, you have to choose whether you use the network or the local interfaces. However, in all case, you can use all these protocols simultaneously, and configuration is a breeze if you got a windows stations somewhere. ------------------------- Frederic G.
