Hey I got some of those and they work fine on 95, are you mainly talking about w2k pro machines and normal users (vs power users/admins)

I've used TCP/IP ports for my printers but I'm not too happy with the native MS drivers as the second paper tray and/or duplex unit keep disappearing from the settings. All the printers I'm talking about are HP 4050 TN.

We had a similar problem using TCP/IP with our Ricoh printers. The spooler on the server would crash at seemingly random intervals, restarting the service would fix it for a little while, then it would crash again. We moved the printers to a new server (still NT4 at the time) and loaded all the most recent Ricoh drivers. We have not had this problem since. I'm pretty sure it had to do with outdated Ricoh drivers (.dll hell), even though we tried updating them in-place on the old server to no avail. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com Anytime, anywhere, any Internet channel-- we touch tens of millions online each day.

We where told by our Xerox rep that for there Printers is was better to use LPR ports for performance. Our Hp rep said that LPR adds nothing for there printers. I would say that is the printers use a UNIX flavor to print you would want the LPR ports. Robert Muncy Sherman Financial Group -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey J. Broderick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 12:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Ports on a W2K print server: TCP/IP or LPR? I have a W2K print server (sp2). My clients are all W2K-Pro (sp2). My printers are network attached (new Ricoh and Cannon models). The server has the latest, verified drivers for these printers. The server ports I'm using for the print queues are TCP/IP ports. Problem: Sporatic loss of connectivity, where a print job spools, but then just sits in the cue, stalled. A re-boot of the printer will let the jobs print. This error is intermittant, and I can't cause it to happen at will, but I have seen it when responding to end-user calls. Question: In researching possible causes one tech suggested I try LPR ports rather than TCP/IP ports. However, all the documentation from Microsoft suggests using TCP/IP ports and says to use LPR only for Unix/Linux devices. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Is LPR a more stable choice? Thanks. Jeff B. Pittsburgh, PA. Want to unsub? Do that here: http://www.w2knews.com/rd/rd.cfm?id=unsub Need a good FAQ?
