If I under the specs of the above two printer properly, both are postscript printers: 2070N: PCL6, IBM Proprinter, Epson FX 5250DN: PCL6, BR-Script3, IBM Proprinter, Epson FX and these are the ports that they have: 2070N: 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet, Parallel, USB 5250DN: 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet, Parallel, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 I was actually looking just for the 10/100 ethernet ports to connect the printer to a switch on the little office network that we have there. How does this relate to HP JetDirect ethernet interface? And, er, what is HP JetDirect and wouldn't it exist only in HP printers? thanks, ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
