How do I tell if I  have Potato or Slink?

I'm trying to print from Netscape & Adobe applications.

The printer is a networked printer HP Laserjet 5SiMX.

It has a jetdirect card and I beleive it has an LP Daemon running
as I am able to print to it using TCP/IP printing in NT 4.0


If you need more info., let me know.

Tony.
