Manage HP Printers in OS X

[prsquare]

I support about 50 HP Laserjet 4000 & 4050 printers. For years these printers were used in a NetWare environment and all was well. I am now replacing the Novell servers with xServes. I am having a horrible time managing these printers, changing IP addresses, names, etc. On a few occasions I have run IE in parallels but that doesn't always work and when it does it is not quick. Is there an OS X utility anywhere for managing these printers from my MacBook Pro running Leopard?

Short answer - no.
You can use telnet (command line) to connect to almost all HP network devices.

Thanks. I'm not much for command line stuff. I think I am going to load a WIN98 machine into Parallels and use the very old HP Jet Admin.
