Well, I used bootp to configure the JetDirect's and recently I switched
to DHCP (dhcpd package). I did not use rarpd at all. You could also 
configure the JetDirects manually from Windows with the JetAdmin
software.

:

:   :rm=hplaserjet.some.domain:\
:   :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:   :st=/var/log/lpd-status:\
:   :mx#0:

Be sure to have a separate spool directory for each JetDirect you have. Also,
an entry like rp=text or rp=raw is needed to send jobs as text or binary
data.
