HP 4 Networking with Vista 64
I need someone knowlegable who can confirm the proper JetDirect card for an HP 4 which has Vista 64 driver support.
My network is a home hardwired 10/100 system with two computers running XP and two running Vista 64.
From what I can gather on the HP support web site, the only JetDirect internal networking card which has Vista 64 driver support is the J2550A.
Thanks in advance.

I've spent additional time digging through the archives.
Moderator Jeff stated in one post "any JetDirect card will work with any computer that can talk to it with the common networking protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, Appletalk, etc.) "
I would interpret this to mean I do not need a special Vista 64 driver for the JetDirect card (or XP driver for that matter). I don't understand why HP has various OS driver downloads for each model JetDirect card...
I've tried the Parallel to USB cord but Vista 64 does not recognize the printer.
I'm really searching for an OS independent answer for networking my HP 4 and the JetDirect route seems to be the best solution.

One last question regarding my HP 4 networking with JetDirect.
Which JetDirect cards (if any) would offer a 100 mbps transfer rate?
I just read the J2550A has only a 10 mbps rate.
