I tried to attach a LaserJet III to a JetDirect EX Plus. The printer
looks like it's ok. It can print a test page from the control panel
just fine. I haven't tried to attach it to a computer parallel port
yet, so I haven't ruled out the parallel port on the printer and cable
yet.
I installed the HP TCP/IP driver for vista. It finds the JetDirect box
just fine. I can see in the router logs that the JetDirect asks for
and receives an IP Address. Vista lets me create a printer using the
TCP/IP "port". When I go to print a test page, nothing happens. It
just says "error" in the printer window. I can see the network light
flashing on the JetDirect. But nothing happens.
Can anyone suggest something else to try?
