    Angry Settining up Printers in a Network enviorment

    Here's a good one..I have a Cross platform Network enviorment (MACS & PC) and I'm trying to get an HP Laserjet IIIsi to work on the network using the HP Jet Direct Card.
    Now heres the funny part..I have the Printer working on the MAC side just fine...being that it's a MAC Printer...but it won't work on the NT side..I had it working before just fine until the Printer's jet direct card had to be replaced..no biggie..still works but no longer prints on the NT side... HP's Web site was reallly helpful... I've run out of options..last thing I can think of is setting up in TCP/IP ...any suggestions on what can be happening?

    What protocol are you using? DLC? If so, did you go specify the new card address?

    Hi,

    Just for grins, HP's website for drivers for your model are located here:

    http://www.hp.com/cposupport/swindex...iisi_swen.html

    Also, if you changed the model number of the JetDirect card, you might also need the latest drivers for it. Go here and enter "JetDirect XXXX" where XXXX is the model number:

    Also, just for your info, I have the HP Service Manual for this monster. If you run into any other problems, give us a shout.

    Good Luck!
    DonJ

    Setup TCP/IP then install TCP/IP printing services in NT. To setup the printer - select new printer, network, type the IP address of the Printer:RAW ie (10.10.10.10:RAW) this will tell the driver to use that IP address and the port is RAW data.

    FINALLLYY!!!!!

    I got the printer to work across all the platforms..the reason why it didn't work originally was because I didn't have the config in Printer itself setup...I set the printer for it to Auto Detect the network...this way it was seen across the MAC section of the network..then went to the TCP/IP settings and manually set it..then placed it to autodetect the TCP/IP settings...after all the attacks..went to my server and set the puppy up with the original driver...
    Wheee...I gotta go home now.. I be tired..ThanXX for all the help guys!! greatly appreciated!!
