Unfortunately, since PC's represent 99.99% of HP's perceived market for
laser printers, the optional ethernet interface only supports Novell
Netware protocols.  So, although it is *ethernet*, it ain't TCP/IP and
the BSD lpr/lpq protocols which you need to talk to your Sun.

This is based on the most current info *I* have.  If you find out
differently, I'd very much like to hear!

BTW, there are little boxes that talk TCP/IP/lpr and have a parallel
port on them to connect to your laser; check out the Microplex M200.
Microplex's phone is 604-875-1462, and their email: info@microplex.com.
