What is implied and what actually is are two different things. These days I doubt a PC manufacturer, here in SA, would let a box out of their store without a HDD. The OP needs to let us know. I do not know about JetDirect devices but if it was a network printer it should surely be able to be installed on the LTSP server and shared for its users?
