Here is a follow-up to my original post on this printer. If anyone else is looking to put these on your network, you may want to do as I did. The problem was in the 3450 print driver. It would not print through a standard TCP/IP port configured to print LPR to a remote print queue on Win2K or WinXP. It just gave an error right away. I talked with Xerox and they referred me to a different printer driver. The name of the file they gave me was win2kms.exe. This was a more generic print driver. I tried it but it still didn't work. What I had to do was first delete the printer, then go into the server properties of the computer and delete the driver. Then I could re-add the printer with the new driver and it worked.
Hopefully this may spare someone from the pains of this printer. It is really a pretty nice, low cost, duplex printer. I think the alternate print driver they gave me will work on a number of different Xerox printers as well. If you have trouble, you may try that win2kms.exe print driver and see if you can find your printer in there.

It has a duplex unit (D). I am having a strange problem that has stumped me. Maybe someone has an idea. I can print to it from the server using the lpr command. I can print to it from clients using Samba. However, I cannot print to it using TCP/IP port configured to send lpr from Windows 2000 or XP. The print job shows up as error. I am using the postscript drivers from Xerox. I have LPRng 3.8.22-2. I have tried setting the printcap to print to the printers LPD port and port 9100. Neither works. I have nearly 150 queues on this server and they all work except this one. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!
