There is a useful table of these at
http://www.printertechs.com/jetdirect/jetdirect-gallery.php

The difference is the kind of port(s) and the speed.

You see for instance that the J4100A is 10/100Base-TX, the J2550 is
10Base-T, the J2552 has Appletalk, 10Base-T and BNC.

Anyway, 10Base-T (ethernet) is the basic minimum connection which they
all have, and all you need to network, so get whichever is the
cheapest.
