Hi All,

Having a challenge & hope someone can find the solution for me, because
like a pine tree in last Sunday's wind storm...I am stumped at this point.

I recently connected an old HP LaserJet 6L to an external JetDirect box
& added it to the network.  I assigned it a static IP of 192.168.7.11 &
looking at the details in WebJet Admin the other network stuff is fine.

I can connect it via a Windows 7 machine, but I cannot seem to add it to
Lisa's computer which is running Unbuntu 11.04.

I have tried adding it through the applet & by going to localhost:631.
I can add it & choose the drivers & all that good stuff.  But when it
comes to printing a test page it just hangs in the queue.  I have tried
a number of variations in adding it, but it doesn't seem to want to
print.  I can ping the IP from both Windows & Linux & it sees the IP
address just fine with no lag on response times.  I have tried to access
the JetDirect via a browser, but all I get is 503 Service Not Available.

I know it does print, because I have printed from a windows box & it
recently printed from that same Linux box when installed as a local printer.

Any ideas?
