is this also known as a JetDirect Card ???
(i'm assuming it is, as my knowledge of network printers assumes the
use of the HP jetdirect cards for network printers)

If i understand correctly you wont need to! - the printer (with the
addition of a network adapter becomes a standalone unit with it's own
IP(x) address, the drivers that come with the interface should allow
you to install the printer for use on all the required machines and
everything should work ok :)

with the 5Si i use at work you can even telnet to it to configure it!
- alternatively all the configuration can be done from a display panel
on the printer


hope this helps
