Doesn't the HP web page in the printer allow you to see the control panel? Keep in mind, also, that the HP 8150 has a couple of upgrades. There is the JetDirect firmware, the printer firmware, and then the EWS upgrade. I did everything that I could do and I haven't had any trouble since (by trouble I mean constant 79's).
HP basically told me that this error can be caused by ANYTHING (printer, Jetdirect, etc), so it's really hard to nail down to an isolated piece of software in the printer. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Thu, 17 Jul 2003, Matt Forrest wrote: > I'm fairly sure that there is a more recent version of the PS driver for > NT.... yup - claims to be dated 2002-1-23 > > here's a link: > http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=21691&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=27718&submit.y=4&submit.x=4&cc=us#Microsoft%20Windows%20NT%204.0 > > You can try it, but it hasn't solved the problem for us. > > If your file consistently crashes the printer, I'd love to have a copy!!! > In all the testing I've done, I have yet to be able to consistently > reproduce the error. > > HP has basically told me that unless I can consistently reproduce the > crash, there's nothing they can do to help us. > > When one of my co-workers has some free time this summer, I'm going to try > and get him to make a gadget that will let me power cycle the printer > remotely and get a webcam so I can see the control panel! > > Does anyone know if the same problem exists with XP as a client?
