using a HP JetDirect for LaserJet III with Amiga

[Matt_H]

No IP protocol? How could it work with any platform, then? (I am genuinely confused.) On the LaserJet4 (with a J4100A), printing a test page through the printer's onboard controls gives a complete breakdown of all network settings. Does the LJIII have anything similar? Might reveal something previously overlooked.

Failing that, is there a way for your router to forcibly assign an IP address to a MAC Address on the network?

DLC, huh? You learn something new every day :-)

My only though at this point would be to simply share it via Samba, in which case the JetDirect isn't even used.



And Win95 on a 386? Ouch, ouch, ouch. I had a friend doing that back in 1996 or so. As I recall, it took around 10 minutes to boot. Kudos to your willpower!
