I could be wrong, but if memory serves, the problem is not so much that HP is using Bacula ports, it's that various HP drivers "probe" the network to "automatically" find all the printers on the network. IOW: when MS Windows starts up, the HP printer drivers try to connect to port 910x on every host on the network to see if there's a printer there. Again, I could be wrong on this. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
