Who came up with that idea ? Sounds like someone went out of their way
to make printing less reliable, and printers don't need any help with
that! The HP-UX machines should be able to send printouts direct to the
printers.

I'd avoid using the JetDirect "protocol" unless you have something
that'll do two-way communication and understands PJL. Stick to LPD or
IPP (but upgrade the firmware).
