Thats bo a that big problem. HP claims to support bootp et. al.
But it seems that this does not work reliably.
But dont be afraid. I got it working the simple way.
Configure the IP, Gateway et. al. by hand (look in the docs)
Then just use the lpd protokol privded by the jet admin card.
This works here very reliable.
This is my /etc/printcap
lp|lp2|lj|PS_600dpi-a4-auto-mono|PS_600dpi auto mono:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:rm=printername:\
:sd=/usr/spool/PS_600dpi-a4-auto-mono:\
:lf=/usr/spool/PS_600dpi-a4-auto-mono/log:\
:af=/usr/spool/PS_600dpi-a4-auto-mono/acct:\
:mx#0:
:sh:
Please have also a look at your man-pages.
Yours,
