The HP one looks nice too, I'm amazed to find a HP product that looks good (and is recommended) after all the mess I've seen with all the brain-damaged Jetdirect printer modules (the printers themselves aren't too good either) and the brain-damaGING HP-UX boxes I've unfortunately had to support :) Thanks a lot for your advice!
