I second that, Ed. My question is, if you are not using TCP/IP printing then why are they giving addresses to the printers? The long and short of this issue is that unless they use a routable protocol like IP or IPX then you will not print across VLANs unless they are bridging somehow.

That explains it. I personally would never subject my users to such an unstable configuration. If you want to do it right, use tcp/ip printing. I only use Jetadmin to assign static IP addresses to the JetDirect Card. That is about as far as I will go with HP software. -----Original Message----- From: Sean McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 4:05 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS The printers are connected by creating a port [HP] which maps to an assigned IP address or MAC Address. once the port is created we create a printer share it and install the driver [if it doesn't exist already] -----Original Message----- From: Ed Esgro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:58 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS Not sure about that, but if the print servers are on the same vlan as the printers it shouldn't matter. Not sure how the servers and printers are setup. -----Original Message----- From: Sean McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:56 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS Is DLC not routable? -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Olson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:45 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS You must route between the vlans -----Original Message----- From: Sean McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 12:48 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS No. A user printing o their own V-Lan is not having an issue. our problem is that the Network Boys want all printer servers to be on one V-Lan, and it just isn't working. We are using Hp Printers/ports and DLC protocol. On our flat network over at HQ, we have no printing issues. the only difference between our current configuration and the "new" one is the V-Lans. -----Original Message----- From: Josefowski, Larry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:44 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS Doubt it is a TCP/IP / VLAN issue then. Are users printing to the printers on their VLANS having the same issue? -----Original Message----- From: Sean McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:40 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS Yes, we can ping the print server[s]. We are not using TCP/IP Printing. The users can connect and print intermittently. When the y cannot print we can still ping the server, but, the print jobs queue and we are forced to clear it and restart the spooler service. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:32 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: V-LANS I have a vlan for every floor in this building. I have printers on every floor. Everyone can print to every one of them. What have you tried? Can you ping the print server? -----Original Message----- From: Sean McLaughlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 2:10 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: V-LANS Has anybody experienced any issues with printing across V-Lans? We have our print server located on a 101 V-Lan and users are on 102, 103, 104. One of the issues they experience is that cannot connect/map to the printer.
