Bob,
Don't confuse the LaserJet 5M with the Color LaserJet 5M: These are two
separate animals! And Yes, the 5M has genuine Adobe Level 2 PostScript -
Version 2013, if I remember correctly.
As for ethernet, it's actually quite simple: Just plug every device into
its own port on the hub, and the hub will take care of everything. Then,
just plug a cable from the wall jack from the campus LAN into the "uplink"
port on the hub and voìla! Instant connectivity.
