Re: [OT] Print Servers

I've been using the JetDirect 500X to serve a printer to several Windoze boxes. When you plug it in, it defaults to IP 192.0.0.192 after 2 minutes, and the embedded web server is available at that address. From there, any forms & java-capable browser can be used to set the correct IP address and

Just a thought - have you guys made absolutely sure that your ports are set up correctly and enabled? I was having problems with a printer port under RH 6.1 that had worked fine under 5.2. For some reason, the BIOS setting for the port was "auto" instead of IRQ 7, iobase 0x378. That was the fir

It's one of those "iffy" things - running NT 4.0 with SP3 or SP4 on a Gateway PII-350 (or on an older Micron Pentium) with 128 MB, using winAT eventually "fails" to execute ntbackup on our POS PCs (running the Sable POS software). I.e., the task manager will show ntbackup as a process, but it won'

If you have a Linux boot disk, use that. Otherwise, you could try telnetting into your machine across the network. Remember that you can use su -l to change from a regular user to root. Once you're in, edit /etc/inittab to start runlevel 3 by default. Look for something like id:5:initdefault a
