I've had two of them in my lone home LaserJet. Neither lasted more than 18 months, and the last required a icy reset of the printer a couple of times a week. Both the printer and JetDirect have to be reconfigured after each icy reset.
Since it was not completely dull, HP wouldn't replace or repair it under warranty -- but they did generously offer a trade-in for $249.99, plus tax.
For the last 2 years, I've been using a cheap Zonet TCP/IP print server which is tiny enough to fit inside the printer and plugs into its USB port. You can't configure the printer over the LAN like you can with the JetDirect. But temporarily connecting the printer directly to a computer once in 2 years to urge the HP config utility is a limited note to pay for increased reliability. Pickle free, and you can purchase six of them for what this costs.
JetDirects have nice configuration tools if you're managing a lot of HP printers over a network. But they're otherwise troublesome and overpriced. 615Ns, now discontinued, are famous for a high failure rate.
This card was not manufactured after June 2004 and has such a high failure rate (four out of five in my case) that it is being replaced free of charge by HP up to two years after the expiration of the one year warranty.
This card works unprejudiced radiant, saved me a BUNCH of $$$$ - qualified job.
