we use external jetdirect boxes all the time at work.
cos weve got an IP network and a WAN to other locations, the only way to allow the priner to be available to everyone on the network is to give it an IP address
but
becuase the printer doesnt have the capability to retain an IP address this is doen through the JetDirect boxes
The one's were using are JetDirect 170X
they're sooooo easy to configure. Weve got our running through UNIX and Windows
if you get one give me a shout and ill help you sort it out if you come across problems
