Cannot connect to the printer
Authored by: mdchong on Nov 10, '02 01:57:46AM

My school also has a HP JetDirect print server which was connected with a HP Laserjet 1100. I have tried the command in my Powerbook with Jaguar and a printer was added in the Print Center. However, I cannot print to this printer. The Print Center showed that it cannot connect to this printer.

Did the model of JetDirect print server make the difference ? My school's is 500X.

thanks in advance for any helping hands !

I've had the same problem with this jetdirect. I cannot get any printers
to print off this device. I've tried everything from IP Printing to Appletalk.
I'm using the gimp-print drivers appropriate to the printer but I can't tell
whether or not the file ever gets sent to the printserver. does anyone
have any idea how to get the 3 ports on this print server working on OS
X

I have the same situation: HP JetDirect 500x and a Samsung ML-1650 (PCL6 only) printer. No matter what I do, OS 10.3.4 sends PostScript to the printer.

Has anyone figured this out?
