It's a 2100TN. I know there is JetAdmin but I didn't really think it was
needed to set up this printer. I thought it was a tool just like bootp
arp/rarp or telnet to set it up.

I'd call it silly to ask people to install JetAdmin to turn on bootp on the
printer so that you then can set up bootp. I guess I have to play with it some
more. I had installed JetAdmin before and I didn't find it helpful at all. It
never detected the printer on my network.
