Actually,... all the modern laserjets with an ethernet interface emulate a Unix lpd print queue, which is much more flexible than the old jetdirect "protocol". so, just choose "networked unix lpd", use a queuename of "raw", give it the printer's IP address, choose an appropriate printer driver, and voila!
I truely welcome all the wonderfull advice. But somewhere there is the impression that I have a Laserjet 4000N with Ethernet built in. I do not. I have a plain jane printer which requires a parallel connection to print. That's where the Intel NetportExpress 10/100 came in. It is the print server, not any part of the printer.
In that case it is not a network printer . It is a local printer on the Intel NetportExpress device.
