Printer Problem
Ok, but it's in a separate building a mile away for copy/scan purposes. BSEG

Once you get the info for all of those " This is what I got to find out." answers,
post back. Better yet, post to microsoft.public.win98.networking, get any and all information before posting because "This is what I got to find out." won't go far. -- Brian A.

Yes First answer these simple questions and we'll see if we can't get this resolved. Forget about the HP for now and let's focus on the Ikon. What are the OS's of each machine that the Ikon is shared too? Windows 98 se (2 computers) How are the machines connected to the network? Are they connected to each other or via a router,switch or hub? This is what I got to find out. How is the Ikon connected to the network? Is it connected to a machine, router, switch or hub? This is what I got to find out. What type of cable is used to connect the Ikon to the network? Serial, Parallel, Crossover or Straight Thru? This is what I got to find out. What is the shared name of the Ikon? If it is /aaxx300e1234, then this may be where the problem is. IIRC you can only use up to 10 characters in a name. This is what I got to find out. I think this to me sound like it ikons fault. Not hooking up the cables correctly. I was just trying to see if this was a simple fix. I guess this is a major fix. So I will tell her to get a beter computer tech, to check it out. It a work place that does not like to spend money. I am excellent with computer configurations. Networking I am not. I learned a little about networking but not enough. Thank you all for you help anyway. Greg R |

Printer Problem
Hey, if it's a scanner capable of being loaded with 500 or a thousand or
more pages, it's great for converting paper to PDF, etc.! Wouldn't want that machine grinding away right next to me anyway! Make that cute receptionist go over and reload it when necessary. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP for Win9x "Brian A." GoneFishn@aFarAwayLake wrote in message ...

Printer Problem
"Brian A."
Read my post. I said I know very little about networking, excellent with computer configuration. I thought it would say something simple like a registry tweak. I am going to have her reboot the computer, when this happens again. Here a rough drawings how each computer is hooked up. connections are not known. computer 1 [=]=====LPT port======Hp Printer [=]=====Unknown port======Copier Computer 2 [=]=====LPT port==========Hp Printer [=]=====Unknown port======Copier Computer 1 & 2 are networked together using a network card. These computers are old Compaq’s I think the connections get disabled when computer 1 shutdown and computer 2 stays on. I would like to thank you and Gary for trying to help. I will just leave it up to a computer tech. However, If I find a Solution. I will create a new post. Greg R |
