If I under the specs of the above two printer properly, both are
postscript printers:
2070N: PCL6, IBM Proprinter, Epson FX
5250DN: PCL6, BR-Script3, IBM Proprinter, Epson FX

and these are the ports that they have:
2070N: 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet, Parallel, USB
5250DN: 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet, Parallel, Hi-Speed USB 2.0

I was actually looking just for the 10/100 ethernet ports to connect the
printer to a switch on the little office network that we have there. How
does this relate to HP JetDirect ethernet interface? And, er, what is HP
JetDirect and wouldn't it exist only in HP printers?

I have the HL5240 that I bought almost a year ago. Very nice and I'm
very pleased with its performance. I have it hooked to a parallel port
on my Gigafast network switch. It took a bit of doing to get
configured just right, but once I found the PPD buried on Brother's
website and installed it into CUPS, it prints perfectly. I am very
satisfied.

P.S. I know that isn't exactly an answer to your question.
