samba - Jul 2004 - OT -> Setting up JetDirect card, to CUPS, to Samba

A bit OT, but since it is for Samba and some smart folks hang around here...

Setting up JetDirect cards for Samba printing via CUPS. They suggest BOOTP vs
DHCP mode. However BOOTP mode does not pull down the DNS domain name, DHCP mode
does. Called the vendor, they say "that's
the way it works" and that I need to type it in the card. Doesn't seem
very automatic for changing domain names in the future - visiting each card vs
just updating the DHCP server.

Am I being led down a path by the vendor? Anyone a BOOTP / DHCP expert than can
put some light on this?

TIA!
