If you happen to have multiple ethernet cards on the machine, you'll want
to put the driver name (eg "ex0") of the card you want running dhclient
into dhclient_flags in rc.conf. Otherwise, you'll end up losing the
manually configured IP addresses on the other interfaces.

If you only have a single interface, it isn't necessary.

If this printer doesn't have lpr (unix network printer) support, but does
have SMB/Lan Manager/NetBIOS/Microsoft Networking/whatever else you want to
call it support, you can print to it by installing samba, then following
the directions in

(this, or similar, info might be somewhere on netbsd.org now, I'm not sure.)
