No, they're both on the same side (:

It IS petty brain-dead. Talks a hell of a lot of protocols, though.

If I had a machine that was up all the time AND was working, I'd just do
it from there.

One's my workstation which (A) Occasionally boots into Windows to play
games, and (B) Hangs a lot. The other is Linux on my wife's machine, which
I only did to see if it'll work. That box is usually Windows.

I have since tried to get this to work on a SPARC/Linux box, but I get the
same errors and symptoms (essencially, NOTHING gets sent to the network).

That doesn't really help. I just got this printer. I don't know what you
have at work, but all I have is a colour laser. Colour lasers make great
visio diagrams, but crappy photos. An HP Deskjet 3820 doesn't cost a lot
and prints amazing quality photos if you feed it right.
