} fixed-address java.research.bell-labs.com;

} always-reply-rfc1048 on;
} option option-144 "hpnp/zoo-printer.cfg";
} next-server frank.research.bell-labs.com;
} }
} (this has been attempted with and without the "always-reply-rfc1048 on;")
Some options that I _know_ cause problems with older JetDirect
cards are:
##(HP)## option netbios-node-type 8;
##(HP)## option netbios-name-servers lax.pe-nelson.com;
##(HP)## option ntp-servers lax.pe-nelson.com;
##(HP)## option broadcast-address 192.52.153.255;
For the group of JetDirect interfaces, I also declare
"use-host-decl-names off;". But I thought 5Si/Mx's
were recent enough that they didn't fail to start
with the commented-off options listed above.
After the printer fails, what errors are shown in its
test page? That's how I was able to eliminate those options:
One by one, I found out which option caused it to fail THAT time.
There are also a couple of reports relating to problems passing
filenames with pl27. We've used that in the past (not for
printer config files), but not with pl27. We _are_ using
pl27, and all our printers start correctly.
So I'd say the next step is to look at the test page from
the printer after it fails to get an IP address, and see
what it thinks is wrong.
