Re: Can't print to a network printer

try the easy things first: plug a laptop into the wall jack the printer is
connected and make sure the wall jack/wiring/awitch are all working
properly. If not, then eliminate each one at a time.

does the direct jet card have a web or ftp interface? if so, can you connect
to it from a workstation?

Running SBS 2003 Premium SP2.
=================
We had a power outage this weekend (server protected by UPS) for a several
hour period. A network printer - HP Laser Jet 4 Plus - now will not
print. I've tried to print from 4 workstations and the server - just sits
in queue. I've tried restarting the Print Spooler - no change. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled it several times - same result.

What am I missing?

(On a related note, I've never been able to install it as a network
printer. I've had to install it locally and then choose it's IP as the
port. Never understood why; guess it's the old JetDirect print server
it's connected to.)
