Worst of the Worst,
I’ve had two of them in my lone home LaserJet. Neither lasted more than 18 months, and the last required a cold reset of the printer a couple of times a week. Both the printer and JetDirect have to be reconfigured after each cold reset.
Since it was not completely dead, 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 small 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 run the HP config utility is a small price to pay for increased reliability. Problem free, and you can buy 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 notorious for a high failure rate.

Don’t buy the 615… serious problems,
The 615s are garbage. If you were lucky and your card died before 2008, HP replaced it with a 620. If not, you got the privilege of buying a new 620…
These cards have serious problems and were not soldered correctly. They will eventually start to do weird things and you will end up replacing it. Save your cash and your sanity.

Flawed Print Server,
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.
