I found a nice article on configuring the HP print server
under OS/2 (and others are similar, if not identical) at:

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/support_doc/bpj06504.html

Used it for both my SMC7004BR and the HP170X print servers.

And Sheridan George's SCOUG message on 10/2 (network printers)
may help. I have the (older) SMC7004BR, Firmware ver: R1.90h .
although v1.93p (dated 9/28/01) is now on the SMC site.

SMC is pushing their wireless (7004AWBR) version real hard
these days. It's still kinda pricey, at around $200.
Geez, my SMC7004BR isn't even a year old yet.

Mebbe I'll flash the new firmware tonight....
