In confirm you can: however, the number of actives interfaces provided
by the JetDirect it depends on the printer in which you put it. For
instance, on a LaserJet Si/MX and more recent printers, you can use
all protocols (NetBIOS, IP, IPX, AppleTalk) and all interfaces
(Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, JetDirect) simultaneously, whereas on
LaserJet 4 and lower, you have to choose whether you use the network
or the local interfaces.

However, in all case, you can use all these protocols simultaneously,
and configuration is a breeze if you got a windows stations somewhere.
