My printer is not using DHCP - IP is coded into JetDirect.
Thus your situation is not applicable to mine.
Thanks again

Do you configure your printer with DHCP? And with a JetDirect config file
(option 144 to the DHCP/BOOTP server)?
We've had problems with the following sequence of events:
- TFTP server gets busy and stops listening for connections
- printer DHCP lease renews
- printer immediately tries to TFTP its config file
- printer won't talk to anyone once this happens
The solution for us was to fix the TFTP server with the config files...the
default inetd daemon under RedHat 6.2 would just loose a file descriptor while
it was running, causing it to stop listening to TFTP traffic. No such problem
with xinetd under RedHat 7.1. We didn't see any such problems with tftp/inetd
daemons under Solaris, either.
