: Will 5.5 support either/both of these:
 
: 1. Printing to HPNP devices (JetDirect cards and external boxes)
 
Yes, as long as the JetDirect interfaces of whatever kind connect a
TCP/IP network connection to a PCL printer.  (All HP desktop laser and
inkjet printers are PCL printers).  If the printer also supports
PJL (aside from the LJ IIISi, which supports only language switching), a
robust form of page level recovery is also supported.
 
: 2. lpr and/or lpd support
 
I'll have to defer to my network colleagues to answer that.
