Hi all,

Printer is online!! :)
But I feel like such an idiot. I don't recall setting up the printer with Jetdirect under Mandrake. I did recall directing it to the ip address at port 9100. My problem was I was trying to set it up with everything EXCEPT Jetdirect under FC3. I thought "it couldn't be this because I don't have a Jetdirect server". Thanks for the education.

It is not the server that is necessarily jetdirect it is the interface on HP printers that are jetdirect.

No, the interface to the printer is "Parallel". Which is connected to the NetportExpress who receives its data from FC3 via Ethernet. Please correct me it I am wrong, but the interface to which FC3 is communicating and sending it's data is the JetDirect compatible interface of the Netport Print Server.

Actually,... all the modern laserjets with an ethernet interface emulate a Unix lpd print queue, which is much more flexible than the old jetdirect "protocol". so, just choose "networked unix lpd", use a queuename of "raw", give it the printer's IP address, choose an appropriate printer driver, and voila!

I truely welcome all the wonderfull advice. But somewhere there is the impression that I have a Laserjet 4000N with Ethernet built in. I do not. I have a plain jane printer which requires a parallel connection to print. That's where the Intel NetportExpress 10/100 came in. It is the print server, not any part of the printer.

Ah. My mistake.
We had a customer, running RHEL WS 3.0, who recently configured a printer on one of those. Maybe I can find out how they did it, but it'll take a few days to get the info if I can get it at all.

I found some info about your print server here:
http://www.aplawrence.com/Reviews/netport.html
Frankly, you may be better off connecting the printer directly to your Linux box and using Samba or Cups to share it with your Winboxes.

In that case it is not a network printer . It is a local printer on the Intel NetportExpress device.

Tony, The confusion stems from the fact that the 4000N comes from the factory with a Jet direct card installed ... that's what the N means in the name. Apparently somebody took it out somewhere along the line before you got the printer.
Anyways I have about a half dozen NetportExpress boxes attached to various printers at work (mostly the old PRO 100 variety).
In cups you need to setup the the printer as being LPD with the destination queue on the remote box being either LPT1_PASSTHRU or LPT2_PASSTHRU depending on what port the printer is hooked up to.
Regards, Paul
Thanks once again all. I contunue to appreciate the suggestions. But you can all relax. This was resolved as I posted a couple days back with the suggestion to configure it as a JetDirect. Although my printer is not network ready, Fedora prints to the Netport print server configured as a JetDirect flawlessly. So no need to continue to give further effort to the issue. Thanks so much. :)

If you look at my original post, I never stated I had a 4000N. It was assumed at some point that I did. I tried LPD and could not get it to work. Configuring it as a JetDirect pointing the the Netports ip address and port 9100 did the trick. Thanks again :)

Sending raw data over tcp to port 9100 and disconnecting at the end of the job is 'JetDirect' protocol even if your network server isn't called that.
