Hi there,

I have recently picked up an HP LaserJet 4P printer, and I would like to use
it via ethernet. Can anybody tell me if this is possible with this printer?
It has a slot on the front left hand side which looks as if a JetDirect
would fit in, but I am unsure.

Thanks
Allan

Take a look at:

You might be able to get a suitable card on EBay. Or you could use an
external print server.

IIRC, the LJ 4P has no EIO or MIO slot for an internal JetDirect card.
Perhaps the slots you mentioned are for font cartridges?

You can, however, use a JetDirect external print server (170x, 500x, etc).

See <http://www.printerworks.com/DataSheets/laserjet4P.html>
"MIO Slot - No
Networkable options - (HP Jetdirect Ex print server)

Expandability - 3 SIMM slots (for memory, language)
- Font cartridge slot" [that's probably what you're looking at]
