[jcifs] Strange jetDirect printer behavior

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Hmmm...  Interesting.  I must have missed the original message.

So, if I send an NBT Name Query via broadcast, the JetDirect NBT
implementation might respond with an Node Status response?  How annoying.
I'll have to try that some time.  :)
