LPR just doesn't work for me...
Authored by: markt on Jan 03, '02 12:10:50PM

I am still looking for a simple explanation to the problems you are encountering. I have three laser printers on a network. 2 of them are HP printers with the same IP address so I can't seem to print to one of them. The other is a LexMark M410 which allegedly allows me to change the address but I keep getting a message that there is a problem with the address I gave it.

Therefore, there must be some secret to what numbers a printer can have, and conversely, there must be some secret to how you can change the IP numbers on an HP 8000N.

I sure haven't found it yet.

One of these days, someone will give us a clear, non-techy answer to these problems. As for now, I can barely print and have a pretty hard time getting my OSX to connect to my network.

At this point, it all seems like dark arts and witchcraft. But like I said, someday, someone will offer us a clear, step-by-step process that will get us up and running ... in the meantime, don't we non-techy's just long for the days when all we had to do was select a printer or server via the chooser?

TCP/IP rule #1: 2 devices cannot have the same IP address.
