Title: RE: Sharing of Deskjets

I just purchased a Netport Express 10/100. They all work the same. We use the 3 port models, but I think you can get a 1 port if needed.

I've got the Netport Pros.  No longer manufactured by Intel http://support.intel.com/support/netport/pro/index.htm.  I think I'm SOL on these.   Rebooting them seems to get them back for a few days at least.

Maybe I'll look into buying a couple, or some of the other printer servers available.

We have 9 of the critters, and 2 of them do the same thing every now and then. That's when I send them in for repair or purchase a spare. It doesn't happen very often to those particular 2 units and the other 7 just seem to work all the time.

I'll have to poke around on the website some more I guess.  I've got 2, and they just started disappearing, not showing TCP/IP, etc.

Yes, no problem. They're still selling them.

Does Intel still make/support them?  I've got 2, and lately I've been having some trouble with them dropping off the network.

We've had good results with our shared Deskjets, but we are not using Jet
Direct. We have parallel versions connected to the network thru Intel
Netport print servers.

This is a problem with all deskjets and win2k/nt4 connections. I
verified this with hp quite sometime ago. I thought it was the other way
around, something with the drivers not being compatible. It was a really
stupid excuse by hp, but afterall the deskjet is considered a *home*
printer and is supported as such.

Has anyone been having trouble sharing a DeskJet 990cxi?

I have it connected up to a JetDirect 175X connected to a Windows 2000
server.  I can not get NT4 machines to print to it, most troublesome is
our NT4 TS.  All Win2K machines print with no trouble.  You see the
print job show as spooling then it vanishes and I get an entry in the
Event log saying zero bytes, 1 page printed, when it did not.  I had the
same when it was directly connected to an NT4 works station.  HP's tech
support have been no help.

Thanks

Stephen
