I have an ongoing problem with one of my clients' printers.
It's an HP

In my experience, often printer problems can be traced to the firmware
-- does the manufacturer provide newer firmware for this model? If so
it would definitely be worth trying that first of all.
I've replaced the FC1 box twice, the printer once, and the
printer cable
twice.
Have you tried connecting the printer to an FC2 machine?
E [18/Aug/2004:13:01:25 -0500] ReadClient() 5 IPP Read Error!
I see this when the printer gets disabled. So what is a "5 IPP read
error?"
This means that it was expecting to be able to read IPP data from the
other machine, but for some reason could not.
On the FC2 server, I have a similar situation, where a job will just
hang going out the parallel port to an HP 4050 right in the middle of a
job.
Is that connected directly to the FC2 server?
