I am using a ML490 with iMac's and MacBook Pro using OS X 10.4.10,11 and 10.5,5.1 via USB.  I have, as yet, not been able use the server card via ether net.  Here is a heads up.  If USB or Parallel port is used to drive the printer the server card must be removed to get proper operation.

My other problem with the ML490 is form feeds are mis-registering by 0.060 inches when using 11 inch fan fold paper.  My cure for now is to define paper size in 10's of feet.
