JetDirect 170x


Does anybody know if I buy an HP Jet Direct 170x printserver for my LAN would it work with Linux? I have a couple of printers and I was thinking about buying two of them and before I buy them, I'd prefer to know if they'd work ok with Linux. Thanks

If you use CUPS, setting your Linux box up to print via one of these is trivial.

How would I go about configuring CUPs to do this?

CUPS comes with a really nice web based GUI to configure and administer printers. Just use that.
