I especially loved printers of that era that required one key to be 
pressed to change the value of one of the digits in the IP address and 
another to advance to the next digit.  When you got to the end of the 
address, you'd better press the correct key or all your changes would be 
lost!  And I loved moving the DCPS lab so much over the years and 
changing the addresses on fifty printers, each with its own method of 
changing the address.

I liked the ones you could talk to via AppleTalk since the HP LaserJet 
Utility since those took twenty seconds, max.
