Nothing obvious that has specific support for JetDirect features.
However JetDirect printers work well with just about any Unix printing
software -- either the system supplied lpd(8) or the currently
fashionable CUPS. If you're using lpd(8), then look at installing the
print/apsfilter port, which add a raft of filters for automatically
translating a number of file formats into postscript for printing.
CUPS has similar functionality, and also supports using PPD files to
provide support for the options provided by your printer.
Cheers,
Matthew
