Printer drivers are completely independent of Ethernet.  They are the language of the 
printer and will allow the printer to properly render what is desired to be printed.

PS = PostScript and will use an associated PPD file.
PCL = Printer Control Language
PCL5 = Printer Control Language version 5
PCL6 = Printer Control Language version 6

A HP printer may use an embedded or extenally attached JetDirect "Print Server".
It will conform to Telnet (TCP port 23), HTTP (TCP port 80) and to TCP raw printing @ TCP 
port 9100

Telnet and HTTP can be used to configure the HP JetDirect.

External HP JetDirect Print Servers (Ex: 200m, 300x and 310x) have a "reset" button that 
will cause the JetDirect to reset it settings and it will then seek a new IP address via 
DHCP such as from a SOHO Router.  Once the HP JetDirect gets an IP from a SOHO Router, one 
can query the Router's DHCP assignments and get the IP address that was assigned to the HP 
JetDirect.

Printers with Internal JetDirects (Ex: 600n, 610n and 615n) can be setup by the printer 
using the buttons, menu and the printer's LCD display.

Once the printer has a DHCP assigment you can use Telnet or HTTP to configure the printer 
such as for SNMP, Banner Page, Static or Dynamic IP, Access Lists or turn off un-needed 
protocols (Ex: DLC/LLC and IPX/SPX).
NOTE: It is easier to work with HP JetDirects using a static IP address.

Once the JetDirect is configured, you can setup a TCP/IP port Assignment to print to.

Use of the HP Install Network Printer Wizard  (INPW) software can help automate the 
process on Windows, including the setup of the JetDirect because it communicates with the 
JetDirect based upon the MAC address and all HP JetDirects use a standard MAC address 
preamble.
