Putting my printer on my network

[GDVS]

All printers are HP, all non builtin printservers are jetdirect, all of the network infrastructure is Cisco (and the phones) All of the Servers are HP/Compaq and we have more fibre than you can shake a stick at.

You're a bastard and I hate you

Been trying to get my 5510 hooked up as a network printer for a while, but everything I've tried doesn't work Bought the DLink USB print server, Got the USR WLAN AP with built in USB printer option, but always get nada at the printer. I've only ever been able to remotely connect to mine through another pc.

If I'm reading between the lines correctly at HP, it looks like they've not included network support for certain products at all, and mine is one of them

My personal feeling about the JetDirect? At that price you may as well buy a second printer And yes flamers... if you're intended printer is ubah expensive then ok.... but still, 150squid for the honour of networking my printer... no thanks!

Not that it matters anymore, as since upgrading to 64bit, HP haven't any drivers anyway!

It's enterprise kit, figure in the cost in technician visits and user downtime of a cheap netport over the course of a year and they're a 24 carat bargain.

this seems quite good, connect two USB printers in a wirless print server for only £50
