[rescue] EIO card in HP 4M

[Doug McIntyre]

Probably banking on that model of printer keeps working for decades
vs. the 14 month cycle every inkjet printer I buy tends to last.

Here's the marketing blurb for a different version of that item, I
suspect this one was external vs. the EIO version.


Extended Systems ExtendNet 100s (ESI-2941) is a multi-protocol network print
server which simultaneously supports Novell NetWare and NDS, TCP/IP, Windows
NT, and EtherTalk. Available for Ethernets, ExtendNet 100s connects up to 2
printers (1 high-speed, bi-directional, IEEE-1284 parallel port and 1 serial
port) for both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T network connections. ExtendNet 100s also
supports packet signatures, checksums, aliasing, load balanced printing,
dedicated print servers and remote printer modes, encrypted passwords,
automatic file server reattachment, forms printing and automatic font
downloading. ExtendNet 100s delivers built-in compatibility with your choice
of enterprise, LAN or user management tools. Our Open Management Architecture
provides the ability to manage printers from any PC-based SNMP management
application (like Novell ManageWise and HP OpenView) with unprecedented ease
and vision. We provide a complete set of utilities designed to simplify the
management of printing resources. ExtendView utilities allow you to easily
install, configure and control your ExtendNet 100s print servers. ExtendView
also provides system, network and printer status information. By using the
NWAdmin snap-in DLL, ExtendView for NDS, ExtendNet 100s print servers can be
installed, configured and managed - all from within NWAdmin. No need to use
separate proprietary solutions to set up and maintain your printing network.
As your network changes and grows, the ExtendNet 100s is upgrable.
