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 (OSR5.05)


Not all print servers use the same port addresses as HP does.

It might help if you posted the brand and model of the printserver
you are using.

The printserver is a Edimax, model PS-1206P In it's settings I can't specify any port adress, only DHCP.BOOTP on or off, IP#, Subnetmask#,
Gateway# and DHCP server On or Off

On the display of a Mannesmann-Tally (MT-360) it says 'Hardware alarm' when a small file is sent to it.

A Nec P2X (no display, fewer options) does not print. In this case the spooler is emptied. This printer does print with the printserver on a Windows pc.

Maybe I do need to try a different brand...


The D-Link DP-301P+ works well and is low-cost.
