Visit the HP site and look for accessories for your R80. The will likely
list which JetDirect cards and boxes will work with it. That list might
be restricted to the currently shipping expensive products. So you can
go to the support area and search for:
jetdirect supported printer matrix
and other things. They keep moving things around so I don't have a link.
But there's a good chance that one of the cheaper external boxes will work.
If it's an output only printer you can also likely get results from a
print server from Linksys, Netgear, etc... at your local big box retailer.
