:hn:\

:ht=ether:\

:vm=rfc1048:\

:ha=0001E6123456:\

:ip=192.168.45.39:\

:sm=255.255.255.0:\

:gw=192.168.40.1:\

	Note that the configuration data contains tags that identify the
	various HP JetDirect parameters and their settings. The following
	table describes these tags.
Tag	Description
nodename	The name of the peripheral. This is an entry point to a list of parameters for a
	specific peripheral. This must be the first tag in an entry. (In the example, the
	nodename is picasso.)
hn	The host name tag. This tag does not take a value, but it causes the BOOTP
	daemon to download the host name to the HP JetDirect print server. The
	host name is printed on the HP JetDirect configuration page or a network
	application returns the host name on an SNMP sysName request.
ht	The hardware type tag. For the HP JetDirect print server, set this tag to
	ether (for Ethernet) or token (for Token Ring). This tag must precede the
	ha tag.
vm	The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this tag to rfc1048.
ha	The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address is the HP JetDirect
	print server’s link-level or station address. You can find this address on the
	HP JetDirect configuration page as the Hardware Address. On
	HP JetDirect external print servers, this address is also printed on a label
	attached to the print server.
