It shows up in the list of DHCP assigned addresses but

switched the connection to ethernet, cycled power on the printer, and
it still wasn't recognized by anything on the computer, including the
HP tool, although the DHCP server appears to have assigned it an IP
address.
what happens if you try the following command in Terminal:
ping <ip address>
Substituting the IP address that was assigned to it for <ip address>
This will tell you whether or not the system is responding on the
ethernet port. If it responds, follow the directions I have in my
other email to ensure that Ethertalk is switched on.
(Also, make sure Appletalk is enabled in the network settings for your
computer!)
You should see it then. If not you can do it another way, that's a bit
more work, but will work.
Also odd, and possibly unconnected is that the HP tool
wouldn't find the printer when it was connected by the built-in
localtalk port, only when I switched to the localTalk port on the EIO
card.
The EIO card over-rides the built-in connections, this is expected
behavior.
If the card doesn't respond to a ping (and the self test page lists '0
recieved packets' and lots of packet errors in the IO section) then
likely the JetDirect is foo or the ethernet cable you're using is bad.
