Actually, I'm pretty happy with it-once I figured out
which drivers & setup to use and which drivers & setup
to avoid, it's been very stable and productive. From a
maintenance standpoint, it's fast/easy to swap out the
fuser oil units, toner, photoconductors, etc.
I only call out the vendor service when it's a major job,
or the "you break it, you pay for it" variety.
I call it The Chipper...feed trees in at one
end, and print jobs spit out the other.
I just thought of something-
is this print path defective,
as far as sending to port 9100
on the Lanier?
samba1==LPRng server
Win2k: Standard TCP/IP Port, custom:
lpr, prints to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
samba1: [EMAIL PROTECTED] works fine
lanier%9100 doesn't
I'll try using raw/port 9100 on the
Win2k client and lanier%9100 in the
printcap and let you know how it
goes...
------------------------------------------
I put Kyocera/Mita and Tektronix printers
on the "avoid at all costs" (and with
the K/M & T service, EVERYTHING costs.
we had a service contract on them, and
EVERYTHING was a "user pays" consumable.
