Re: printerserver

Thanks all, for links and advice.
Never expected that such a little box would cause so much trouble :-)

Hi,
For many years we have been using serial printers.
Nowadays they also come with builtin ethernet connection.
I managed to connect 2 printers this way: Started HP Network Print
Services,
added them with HP Network Printer manager. IP# 's added to /etc/hosts

There are some more printers with only serial and parallel interfaces. So
I
put a printerserver directly at the printer's centronics connector, gave
it
an IP# and added it to the /etc/hosts file. Adding the printer with the HP
Network Printer Manager should do it, I thought...

Now I can ping to the printerserver. I cannot print. The file remains
waiting in the spooler. So where do I go wrong? Or what more should I
check?
